Círculo Roto is a series of community film screenings that highlight works from independent makers. For this first edition, we present a program that expands upon the relationship between sleep, dreaming and healing through a selection of short films from rising independent makers.

We are all falling. Falling into the mundanity of routine, the safety of comfort, the forgetfulness of time, we are in need of an awakening to remind us of who we truly are. But to be awake one must first be asleep. In Falling Fast & Falling Asleep, we sink into the depths of the subconscious, where we must face what we have forgotten and what we keep trying to forget, wounds left open in the darkness of the mind. From the many restorative qualities of our sleep, the act of dreaming, the theatres we entertain while our eyes rest, can illuminate aspects of our waking life that are in need of attention, and thus facilitate healing. Each with their own authorial mark and proposing different conceptions of the dream-state, these films in this program forge a path through the uncertainties of the human mind, calling for a revelation, an awakening.
