I DREAMED OF SEEING MYSELF (202x)
"A glide through the cosmos, "I Dreamed of Seeing Myself" by Jamal Ademola brims with possibility in exploring the power of dreaming through Black and African life. Here, the sun, moon and stars in black-and-white montage evoke dreaming as a liberatory force for Black subjects – over whose representation the film cleverly claims ownership."
- Rhea Storr, artist, filmmaker, programmer
An experience of the infinite.
