The Astronomer's Dream
Synopsis
"Replete with visual and audiovisual humor, these works not only celebrate the pleasures of perception, as well as physical spaces and spaces of the mind, but also remain ethereal and multi-faceted in their formal and perceptual attributes. Rigorous in their construction, these films float between representation and abstraction, all the while opening up new cinematic worlds."
