Dreams Rewired background

Dreams Rewired

Exploring the notion that every era believes itself to be uniquely modern, this thought-provoking film delves into the consequences of this pervasive assumption.

Every age thinks it's the modern age, but this one, with its always-on connectivity and acceleration of everything, is truly new. The film DREAMS REWIRED offers a unique perspective by showcasing a montage of rare and previously unscreened films from the 1880s to the 1930s. These films trace contemporary appetites and anxieties back to the birth of the telephone, television, and cinema, revealing that the social convulsions of today's hyper-mediated world were already prefigured over 100 years ago.
