I... Dreaming is an experimental short film by Stan Brakhage, released in 1988. The film features a soundtrack of Stephen Foster songs, compiled by composer Joel Haertling.[1]
Production
I... Dreaming was described by Brakhage as "extremely autobiographical," and was produced at one of the lowest points in his life.[2] Unlike most of the director's works, the film features a soundtrack.[3] Brakhage took a "collage" of Stephen Foster songs, compiled by composer Joel Haertling, and set it to music.[2] He also scratched chosen song lyrics, such as "sweet spirit" and "see the dark void," directly onto the film emulsion.[3][4]
