AUDITORIUM

Dreams is mesmeric, challenging, and unique: one of the final films of ther legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa, in which he presents a visualisation of eight of his recurring dreams. With themes such as death, guilt, fear, and nuclear fallout, each vignette, comes across like a mythical folk tale of old. Although the screenplay was penned entirely by Kurosawa, the production was a collaborative effort, alos involving George Lucas and Steven Spielburg. Films like Dreams echo through the generations, transcending linguistic, economic and geographical barriers.
