"America is not so much a nightmare as a non-dream. The American non-dream is precisely a move to wipe the dream out of existence. The dream is a spontaneous happening and therefore dangerous to a control system set up by the non-dreamers."- William S. Burroughs

The Film
The power of a films' energy is indescribable. It is rapturous, manifests emotion and has the ability to spellbound the viewer. This energy is created through the hard work of dedicated craftsmen who with talent and skill have the ability to capture the very essence of what it means to be human. Audience members have the sense to recognize this simply because they possess the ability to understand and translate what is viewed on the screen to their daily lives. Film can be seen as an extension of dreaming, providing an escape into a different perspective, providing methods of learning and adapting. It is pure creation where the subconscious can conjure any imagery it sees fit. In fact, seeing a particular image on screen might spark a new and different one in the viewers mind. It is as if the viewer is entranced by the directors dream and has the ability to enter different levels of subconsciousness through their own imagination.
