Step into a dreamscape with Queer Film Club 🎞️✨
Join us for ‘Dreams’ by Akira Kurosawa, a visually stunning anthology of eight dreamlike vignettes drawn from Kurosawa’s subconscious. Moving through childhood memories, haunting encounters with spirits and reflections of death, the film blurs the line between reality and imagination.
After the screening, join our 🌙 Dream Circle 🌙 - a relaxed, opened space to share your own dreams, impressions and reflections. Whether symbolic, surreal or personal, it’s a chance to listen, connect and explore meaning together.
Doors open at 5pm 🕔
Film starts at 5:45pm 🎬
🫖🍵 Chai/Tea will be provided | BYO Snacks
📍Connection Art Space, Dandenong. Located 5mins walk from Dandenong station 🚉
