Nightmares and Dreamscapes Film Festival


Nightmares & Dreamscapes was a week-long film festival organised by the Yale-NUS Film Society in 2021.

Nightmares & Dreamscapes is a genre-bending, week-long film festival that celebrates onscreen depictions of our lived fantasies and worst terrors. Through a series of curated films, panels, and workshops, explore alternate realities that capture the best and worst representations of the human condition in global cinema. Be reborn in dystopian near-futures of Children of Men or find yourself trapped within the harrowing historical pasts of pre-WWII Korea; traverse the dangerous psyche of Mima in Perfect Blue and frolic in Wes Anderson's dreamy utopian fantasies. This festival aims to prick the subconscious and journey with the mind, tracing the visions that are often conjured, not lived: to demonstrate how such ideas can serve as a powerful source of fascination for the modern imagination.
