Synopsis
This film is about birds and dreams. Birds dream is shot using stop-motion technique, and its ‘actors’ are bird models handcrafted by the artist. Its concept derives from the artist’s own live performance the Sparrow and the Raven (2012), which had been performed both nationally and internationally.

They encountered all sorts of strange birds and mysterious geometric shapes of different colours. Their encounters have made them bewilder and fantasise, soon their body start to change as well…
