Camilla's Dream is a short film based on the feature documentary Remains made by Ramz. It was put together for the he exhibition, Dreams without Borders 08, held in Montreal, Canada. Camilla, her brothers Stale and Trym are all pained by the sexual abuse they remember going through during their child hood. Camilla has a reoccurring nightmare where she sees her father dead, his severed head swaying in the hands of her younger brothers. The dream usually results in her screaming out loud and shaking violently, forcing her husband Jakob to awake her.

Dreams are a very powerful source to our subconscious and when we are in severe pain, feeling rage and agony, dreams give us a creative as well as destructive space to express those emotions free from judgement and moral assumptions. Maybe dreams allow us to hate and love freely and, as such, are a pure reflection of what hides within the depth of our souls.

Screenings:

  • Dreams Without Boarders 08, Canada
