Raphael Bendahan
Rochdale College was an experiment with new ideas and ways of living while being conventionally forced to live within the old, dead civilization and its structures. The results inevitably show confusion and angered disillusionment. The new ideas and ways, never allowed time to evolve and produce positive results, were smothered for the sake of convenience and convention. The film is ultimately a nostalgic reminiscence of the Sixties.

L'ennui (Les Reves d'un Somnambule)
Raphael Bendahan
Three different dreams of the city, three perspectives, in black and white with a soundtrack from student of John Cage, Bill Fontana... all in camera editing with a Bolex when experimental films meant something on film, raw, from the street, immediate and experiential... influenced by modern dance and the work of Ed Emshweller.
