My Memories

Andy Mulderij - a currently homeless artist with a borderline personality - moves between animation and reality, between everyday life and memory in his work. His reflexive, poetic perspective opens up impressive insights into the realities of homeless and mentally ill people - and thus makes an important contribution to social understanding.

Dreamscapes is a genre-blurring experimental film exploring mental health not as a diagnosis, but as a shifting inner reality—at once painful, beautiful, glamorous and strange. Centered on a powerful performance by Amelia Rose Griffin, the film transforms her lived experience into movement, colour, and sound. Dreamscapes gives voice to experiences that are often hidden because of shame, stigma and silence.

Dreamscapes

A young man fights alongside and against the love of his life, as she struggles with an elusive psychological condition.
