i.Dream

Directed by Lula Dahringer

An avant-garde short film exploring the surreal boundaries of queer identity, memory, and desire. The non-linear plot follows a young protagonist navigating an emotional landscape fractured by past intimacy. Moving fluidly between waking reality and a vivid, subconscious dreamscape, the narrative ditches traditional chronological storytelling to capture the raw vulnerability of longing.Through abstract sequences, symbolic imagery, and heavy atmospheric soundscapes, the protagonist grapples with unfulfilled romantic connections and the process of self-discovery. Memories of a defining relationship surface in fragments, forcing the main character to confront their deepest desires within the safety of their own mind. Ultimately, the film acts as a lyrical sensory journey, illustrating how past love shapes personal identity and how the subconscious processes complex queer grief and affection.
