Dreaming Dogs

2024 · 78 min

A slow, immersive drift through a harsh city seen from a dog's height, quietly unsettling and strangely tender.

Directed by: Elsa Kremser, Levin Peter
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Nadezhda Sobetskaya

Overview: A pack of strays – seven dogs and one woman live in the shadows of Moscow. Hidden from the totalitarian authorities, two species share their existence on the verge of disappearance. They are straying in constant restlessness through a savage landscape where the city is cracking. Shot from the animal’s point of view, patterns of mutual dependence and taming begin to blur.
