hallucinetions

Logline:
A man falls asleep in a movie theater. When waking up, he not only finds himself alone in the cinema but notices that the film he’d come to watch has been replaced by strange images and sounds he can’t recognize.

Director’s Statement:

More than a tribute or an adaptation, halluCINEtions was conceived as a piece in conversation with Threshold. The film is an attempt to recreate, visualize, and materialize the emotions I experienced in my first encounter with that film, to engage with the work not simply in mimicking its aesthetics, paying tribute, etc. But in a much more immediate sense, of direct, unmediated, and uncompromised engagement. The aim of halluCINEtions was to create such an engagement, on both a sensory and intellectual level, not with words (in fact the film is entirely devoid of them), but rather with images and sounds: with cinema itself.

Isn't cinema also made of what we have hallucinated ?
