Week 28

Watch a movie about dreams, nightmares, premonitions, or hallucinations

This week we're diving into the surreal world of cinechallenges, where dreams, nightmares, hallucinations, and premonitions blur the lines between reality and imagination. Discover films that explore the depths of the subconscious, leaving you questioning what is real and what is merely a figment of the imagination.
