DREAMSCAPES PREMIERE

✨ ABOUT THE DREAMSCAPES PREMIERE

Ghost Rooster Collective is thrilled to present the premiere of Dreamscapes! Join us for an energizing evening featuring a film screening, live performance, and an artist talk-back. This event marks our exciting debut on the Ottawa arts scene, blending glamour with the weird, sincere, wild, and fun. Expect trolls, tears, twists, puppets, projection, dance, drama and more as we share Dreamscapes for the first time publicly.

✨ ABOUT THE FILM

Dreamscapes is a genre-blurring experimental film that delves into mental health, alternate realities, and the complex journey of healing. Centered on an intimate interview with Amelia Rose Griffin, the film brings her personal experiences of navigating multiple realities to life through vivid dreamscapes. This portrayal offers a unique perspective on Disability, inviting audiences to step into Amelia’s reality and explore the experience of disability beyond a medicalized lens.
