The Masters of Dreams

  • George Welland

Experimental short film selected at international film festivals.

July 16, 1969, Apollo 11 is launched; 24 years to the day of the first nuclear bomb test. But when a conspiracist suggests the broadcast could be a distraction for an experiment we're not being told about, a paranoid schizophrenic is abducted from his bomb-stricken apartment.

By shining a light into America's dark past, such as the threat of nuclear war and unethical human experiments, the film explores the subliminal manipulation of audiences by television during its infancy in the 1960's to lead us down a rabbit hole of distrust and paranoia.
