LAST NIGHT I DREAMED IN THE BARDO

'Last Night I Dreamed in the Bardo' is an experimental short film that weaves together the surreal dreamscapes of David Lynch's 'Eraserhead' with the metaphysical insights of the Tibetan Book of the Dead.

The film was shot in a minimalist photo studio in Berlin, creating a stark, liminal space that mirrors the narrative's exploration of consciousness and transition.

The film centres on a woman performing in a film noir, who undergoes a profound existential experience. As she acts, the boundaries between performance and reality blur, and she begins to perceive her own journey through death, inhabiting the bardo, the intermediate state between life and rebirth described in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy.

Blending elements of psychological drama, experimental cinema, and philosophical inquiry, the film challenges viewers to contemplate the nature of consciousness, identity, and the transformative spaces between lived experiences.
