West O. Dreaming

In 1933, Charlotte Beradt began collecting dreams of people in her Berlin neighborhood, and eventually published The Third Reich of Dreams. The film West O. Dreaming is a core sample of dreams during our time in history. The film portrays a series of dreams, each in creative collaboration with its dreamer. The project rises to the challenge of the near impossibility of representing dreams—a task which touches on language, meaning and the nature of consciousness.
