Dreams about Putin

Nastia Korkia, Vlad Fishez • Belgium, Portugal, Hungary • 2023 • 30 min
After the invasion of Ukraine, many people began to have bizarre dreams about Putin, seemingly unrelated to events in reality. Do these dreams have any particular significance?
Russia's President Vladimir Putin has become a collective obsession, proof is that he has become a character in the dreams of war-affected people that they share online. The filmmakers documented more than 1000 dreams and chose a few to illustrate them, using archive footage of Putin in hilarious national hero poses, as well as 3D gaming animation (using Unreal Engine). So they made a dreamlike experimental movie that tries in a funny and absurd way to answer the question - how did Vladimir Putin get into people's subconscious and what is he doing there?
