Book Description
Dr. Daniel Hoffman is a young man just out of residency, now working in an inner-city hospital in New York City in 1999. As he contends with the usual panel of challenging patients, Daniel struggles to make sense of his life, one that includes the untimely death of his father, haunting nightmares that plague him nightly and pervasive memories of an ill-fated childhood journey to Argentina, the country of his birth. Young Daniel is sent away by his mother to Buenos Aires in 1979 to convalesce with relatives after a complicated surgery. It is a month long trip in which Daniel stays with an odd assortment of characters that make up a part of his extended family. Daniel falls in love with and longs to be a part of this world he was born in. As the story progresses, pulsing between present and past, the line between dream and reality begins to blur. Back in New York City, the young doctor searches for a way to hang on to the one thing that will help him learn to accept the past and move forward to the present. Through his encounters with patients and colleagues Dr. Hoffman attempts to find solace and understanding, as young Daniel’s journey unravels and descends into tragedy. Beguiling Dreams is more than a story of remembrance and loss. It serves as a testimony to one man’s unrelenting search for identity, balanced between two separate worlds.

Book Description
"In these engaging, challenging and beguiling dialogues, Pamela Cohn expertly draws from her subjects, personal biography and conceptual intent, process and nearly subconscious motivation, personal revelation and political mission. The result is a work that not only provides a road map to the furthest regions of cinematic possibility in the early 21st century but one whose spirited back-and-forth inspires the reader to think anew about artistic possibility." —Scott Macaulay, editor-in-chief of Filmmaker Magazine “Pamela Cohn has curated and conducted a series of interviews that simultaneously invite you to turn the page, and pause for a moment of reverie. Her interviews furrow the grounds where sensibilities become cinema, and attitudes become forms." —Luke Moody Lucid Dreaming is an unprecedented global collection of discussions with documentary and experimental filmmakers, giving film and video its rightful place alongside the written word as an essential medium for conveying the most urgent concerns in contemporary arts and politics. In these long-form conversations, film curator and arts journalist Cohn draws out the thinking of some of the most intriguing creators behind the rapidly developing movement of moving-image nonfiction. The collection features individuals from a variety of backgrounds who encounter the world, as Cohn says, “through a creative lens based in documentary practice.” Their inspirations encompass queer politics, racism, identity politics, and activism. The featured artists come from a multiplicity of countries and cultures including the U.S., Finland, Serbia, Syria, Kosovo, China, Iran, and Australia. Among those Cohn profiles and converses with are Karim Aïnouz, Khalik Allah, Maja Borg, Ramona Diaz, Samira Elagoz, Sara Fattahi, Dónal Foreman, Ja’Tovia Gary, Ognjen Glavonic, Barbara Hammer, Sky Hopinka, Gürcan Keltek, Adam and Zack Khalil, Khavn, Kaltrina Krasniqi, Roberto Minervini, Terence Nance, Orwa Nyrabia, Chico Pereira, Michael Robinson, J. P. Sniadecki, Brett Story, Deborah Stratman, Maryam Tafakory, Mila Turajlic, Lynette Wallworth, Travis Wilkerson, and Shengze Zhu. Can nonfiction film be defined? How close to reality can or should documentary storytelling be, and is film and video in its less restrictive iterations “truer” than traditional narratives? How can a story be effectively conveyed? As they consider these and many other questions, these passionate, highly articulate filmmakers will inspire not only cinema enthusiasts, but activists and artists of all stripes.
