LAND OF DREAMS

In the near future, the census goes beyond data collection to explore the dreams of those interviewed. But the uses of that information are unknown, even to those gathering it like photographer Simin (Sheila Vand). But as she begins taking on new responsibilities for the government that employs her, Simin’s morals, connection to community, and safety become tested in unforeseeable ways.

A science-fiction satire that sports a star-studded supporting cast of Matt Dillon, Anna Gunn, and Isabella Rossellini, Land of Dreams is deeply grounded in current American politics and prejudices while imagining a world of innovation that is equal parts insightful and terrifying. Audacious, outrageous, and profoundly human, there is nothing else quite like Land of Dreams out there. Shirin Neshat and Shoja Azari’s English-language debut maintains the gorgeous imagery and fiercely anti-authoritarian spirit of their earlier films while applying a uniquely modern focus on surveillance and the limits of the American dream. –Cara Cusumano
