Nominated by Bill Henson as inspirational cinema,
this series
of feature films embraces a dark universe. Blurring the boundary
between consciousness and dreams, the stories explore a nocturnal,
somnambulistic side of reality and display a fascination with lives
led on the fringes of society – lives in transition, metamorphosis
and spiritual despair; invasions of the unknown or strange into
the mundane. A mellow and melancholy feast.
