Obsah kurzu:

„The creative handling of film images is such that, among all means of human expression, its way of functioning is most reminiscent of the work of the mind during sleep. A film is like an involuntary imitation of a dream... the darkness that slowly settles over a movie theater is equivalent to the act of closing the eyes. Then, on the screen, as with human beings, the nocturnal voyage into the unconscious begins... The cinema seems to have been invented to express the life of the subconscious...“

- Luis Bunuel

The desire to bring night visions into the waking world has pushed artists to the limits of their mediums. And in cinema (perhaps the most inherently dreamlike medium) some of the most visually innovative and imaginative work has come from the attempt to reveal the dream world. In this multidisciplinary module we will explore both the world of dreams and its expression in the cinematic arts. We will view and discuss a range of experimental 'dream films' and dream sequences from feature films, attempting to create a provisional taxonomy of dreams, identifying various species within the genus: wish-fulfilling, anxiety, erotic, mystically revelatory, the nightmare, hypnogogic, etc. Our guides through these nocturnal realms will be directors such as Andrei Tarkovsky, Maya Deren, Georges Melies, David Lynch, Buster Keaton, Stan Brakhage, Alfred Hitchcock, Su Friedrich, Akira Kurosawa, Ingmar Bergman, Luis Bunuel, Salvador Dali, Fredrico Fellini, Christopher Nolan, Jan Švankmajer; Richard Linklater, Kerry Laitala, Bela Tar. Other topics of inquiry will include, lucid dreaming, dream interpretation, and dream recall methodologies; Australian aboriginal dreamtime; Tibetan dream yoga; surrealist methods of accessing the unconscious while awake (automatic writing and drawing, cut-ups, klexography, frotage, decalcomania...); the extraordinary dream diary of Jindřich Štyrský; silent-era dream films; alchemy as a science of the unconscious. Informed by the researches of dream anyalists (Freud, Jung, von Franz, Pearls), oneirologists (Marquis d'Hervey de Saint Denys, Maury, deBarge), oneiric film theorists (Eberwein, Halpern, Marinelli), and other writers (LeGuin, Borges, Shakespeare...) we shall explore dreaming by way of cinema and cinema by way of the dream.
