COMPETITION: Dreams Of You In Both Worlds
13:00 Sun 14 Jan 2018
Cross the threshold between fantasy and reality to discover secret worlds containing myriad untold stories and dreamscapes; who knows what is real and what is fake? These films show us secret lives rooted in reality and hidden worlds of a more dream-like quality. A strong showing of fantastical animation here is juxtaposed against the reality of a locked-up country house, a hidden daughter, and prison secrets exposed. 98 mins
