Synopsis
8 is the story of a child trying to learn how to dream in a sleeping world, a slow reality, where even fantasies are exhausted. Money, fame, success - tempting, but can’t be bothered. Many soft, small destinies cross paths like the twirls of the number 8. They seep saliva or stretch out in lasers. Impossible to catch but they shine, they lure, a line of sight escaping towards infinity. Perhaps then we should switch to fiction, sharpen the script, with a hyperrealist daydream method learned
Review
8 is a creative documentary film inspired by the shape, structure, and meaning of the number “8”. It is associated with infinite cycle, transformation, and perpetual motion, and it also seems like a ring that connects scattered worlds, human beings, time, and space. The narrative is about diverse implications for an ambiguous state in the middle of times, generations, and transformations. In this film, there are relays of illustrations of a black youth who dreams about earning money every day, a black girl who doesn’t go to school and listen to the teachers, and a teenage white girl who accompanies her dream. The surreal story describes children who learn how to dream in a drowsy world.
