One Dream Rush


We all share the waking world together, but half our lives are spent asleep, alone with our dreams. With this thought in mind, an alcoholic beverage company has commissioned 42 film-makers to make 42-second films about their dreams with free creative licence. The results veer between the beautiful and mystical to - in the case of Arden Wohl, who used her 42 seconds to display a gruesome exorcism - the plain creepy. Every one is almost subliminal in its brevity; if a movie is a meal, then these mini-films are a handful of popcorn. That they're so short means they load quickly, which adds to the compelling nature of the project. Films from some impressive names are still to come, including David Lynch, Mike Figgis and Chan "Cat Power" Marshall.
