"Fabula" is an experimental film by Jordan Baseman that asks questions about our dreams and dream experiences during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020. The film is narrated by the Harvard Medical School Dream Researcher, Dr. Deirdre Barrett. We hear Dr. Barrett discuss various dreams that she has collected through her research into Pandemic Dreams, their collective commonality, their significance and meanings, and their relevance to our times. Dr. Barrett also comments on the uniqueness of the Pandemic and the unusual dreams that have arisen as a result. The film was recorded entirely in London during Lockdown, using 16mm film and 6k digital film cameras. Time-lapse footage of clouds, are super-imposed with footage of the Thames and threaded through, layered with various shots lit by infra-red light. Fabula muses on our relationships with ourselves, one another, our environments and the meanings of our dreams while living with Covid-19.
