CINEMA ALWAYS SEEMS TO HAVE TO WAVER BETWEEN TWO TENDENCIES. THE CAPTURE, MORE OR LESS RAW, OF REALITY (THE DOCUMENT) AND THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN IMAGINARY SPACE, THE DREAM.

Pascal Bonitzer, extract from collected works, Cités Cinés.

"The older I get, the more I see that what does not fade are dreams!"

Jean Cocteau

THE TRADITIONAL DREAM CAPTOR

Seeking and fearing the power of dreams, native American Indians used a DREAMCATCHER to FILTER THEIR CHILDREN’S DREAMS. As adults, they used the dreamcatcher to GUIDE THEIR LIVES.

THE DIGITAL DREAM CAPTOR

CAPTURE is a fundamental term in the digital world : the screen capture of computers, mobile phones and tablets, the video capture adapter in digital format, the Performance Capture in 2D and 3D animation. In English, it is the action of "capturing" that translates a situation, a person, an atmosphere in such a way that the spectator can relate to it.

"Have your DREAM DEVOUR YOUR LIFE rather than YOUR LIFE DEVOUR YOUR DREAM"

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
