The Dream of an Opium Fiend

The opium fiend is seen in a den, puffing on this terrible narcotic. He then falls fast asleep and dreams that he is at home with his wife. He asks for something to drink and he is given wine, which he does not care for, and he is finally given some bottled beer and a glass, but he complains that the glass is too small and he gets a very large sized glass receptacle, into which his wife and maid servant pour the contents of the bottle. As he is about to drink the glass passes from his hand mysteriously, sailing through the room and out of the window to the moon…

Anuktatop: The Metamorphosis

Down on the banks of the Maroni River, little Derreck dreams of heroic warriors. He’s a member of the Wayana tribe in French Guyana. In this film, Derreck is not our only portal into another world. His sister Sylvana also dreams – of an impossible love, who belongs to a different tribe. Their grandmother Malilou takes us back to her youth in the 1950s. It seems that everyone wanders off now and again into a parallel, at times almost ghostly world. Whereas the youngest members of the tribe can still lose themselves in boundless flights of fantasy, the older generation contemplates more existential questions. How do dreams of the future relate to identity? What makes you a real Wayana?

Refus 6 - Bienvenue a Utopia

Utopia is a deeply societal city. Within it live the poor and the wealthy, men who transcend their condition, who rise above it or vanish entirely. The radical, the humanist, the advocate of the State as much as the anarchist — all are creations of this city, reflections of its very essence. The Trinity are crystals discovered at the heart of Utopia, once exploited until their depletion. Endowed with a power that remains enigmatic, they constitute an incredible source of energy, but one that functions only within the dome of Utopia. Ground into powder, this crystal induces both miraculous visions and intense hallucinations, making it a coveted and almost mythical substance. A symbol of a radiant future, it was meant to embody the key to universal peace… but it proved to be quite the opposite.

Fracture

Fracture (1977) is a short animated film from France by the Brizzi Brothers (Paul and Gaëtan), a duo better known for their work on feature-length animated films such as Asterix versus Caesar (1985), and a number of films for Disney. Fracture is their earliest work, and isn’t remotely Disney-like, delivering an SF / fantasy scenario of alien inexplicabilities that makes it an animated counterpart of the comic strips that were running in Métal Hurlant (and its US counterpart, Heavy Metal) in the late 1970s.
