NRBurden of Other People’s Dreams is an attempt to cross the experience of reading a book with the experience of watching a film. Created by renowned film editor Joe Bini (Grizzly Man, All the Beauty and the Bloodshed, You Were Never Really Here), the piece explores the psychology of anonymity required in being an editor. Combining words and imagery, physical and digital media, it blurs the lines between fiction and non-fiction to tell a story about how stories are told.
Burden of Other People's Dreams
—
A surreal, abstract memoir of Joe Bini's life as a film editor and storyteller, presented as a live cinema experience for one audience member at a time.
