In a Dream by Jeremiah Zagar (2008, 80 min.) Set in the vibrant, bohemian neighborhood of South Philadelphia, the film chronicles the life of Isaiah Zagar, an eccentric, tormented artist whose mosaic murals reveal his love for his wife Julia. Their opposing natures complement one another perfectly for decades, but suddenly the family is torn apart at the seams. Isaiah declares to the camera, "As people get older they have less and less passion." He confesses to an affair with his assistant, is kicked out of the house, and spirals into a debilitating, suicidal depression. A fascinating portrait of love and betrayal, family bonds, and the intimacy of dysfunction, the film was chosen as the Emerging Visions Audience Award in the SXSW Film Festival.
Discussion with the director follows screening.
