Film Days again! On the theme Dream an Reality we´show three American films all looking behind the fasads. Here´s the full program, for schedule only look in the calender beside.
Dream and reality
Dreaming can indeed be very pleasant. To dream about a nice holiday at the beach or living in a house beautifully situated by the sea, and to decorate these images with nice details seems to invite me to a good life. Our society invites us incessantly to this kind of dreaming and there are an endless amount of possibilities to dream of a better and more comfortable life. If I only took the chance… The three films of the Film Days at Sandgatan this Autumn talks a talk of people who are about to make real some of their more radical dreams. They also do jump and start off for a new life.
Realizing dreams are necessary parts a part of the self-accomplishment and the identity-building that has become important in postmodernity. In surch to become a distinct person who successfully manage life. it seems natural to realize what I dream of. The Danish philosopher Sören Kierkegaard once said that the worst thing that can happen to a person is that he gets the chance to realies his dreams. Do our films confirm this statement? At least you may find that personal imperfection and unsatisfaction can be efficient motors behind dreaming. At the core of dreaming stands also darker sides of the human person.
The films we show talks about what can happen when a dreaming of a radical change meets with the realities of life. At a certain moment there is a turn to the present time of the dreamer. Will he at this point accept that the dream was only a dream. Or will the dream come through? What happens in the moment of truth?
