Rose, Domenico, Gabriel, Daniela and Fabio are blind
from birth. Every morning, waking up, they told to a tape recorder
what they remembered of their dreams. Dozens of these recordings have
provided the raw material of The Dream of
Homer, a documentary film directed by
Emiliano Aiello that aims to bring to the screen the dreamlike
dimension of the congenitally blind.
What can dream a person blind from brith seems difficult to imagine, and the Nobel Prize Winner José Saramago in Blindness is not the only one who has tried to imagine that. But a recent study by a group of researchers from the University of Medicine of Lisbon, Portugal, demonstrates that the blind dream just like the seeing people.
Mr Emiliano Aiello
works on The
Dream of Homer
for more than 7 years. His intention was to tell the life of the
blind from an everyday perspective but unusual and intimate. The
delicate and mysterious field of dreams and blindness meet and
develop along a storyline inspired by Homer's Odyssey.
Why Homer? It seems that Homer, the ancient supposed author of the
Iliad and the Odyssey, was blind.
The dream of Homer is supported by the Centre of Audiovisual Productions of University of Rome III and the independent production company Tfilm.
