You Dreamt You Saw Yourself But Couldn’t See Your Face

<p>In this hauntingly brief yet deeply evocative short film from director [c=Shireen Seno], a lone figure drifts through a surreal landscape where memory and dream blur into one. The unnamed protagonist, whose face remains perpetually obscured, wanders through spaces that feel both intimately familiar and disturbingly foreign—a house with shifting walls, a mirror that reflects nothing, and corridors that loop back on themselves. The central conflict emerges not from external forces but from an internal struggle to grasp a fleeting identity, as the dreamer attempts to catch a glimpse of their own reflection but finds only emptiness. The tone is ethereal and melancholic, steeped in a quiet, atmospheric dread that evokes the sensation of waking from a nightmare only to realize the dream continues. With a runtime of just seven minutes, the film eschews traditional narrative for a poetic meditation on self-perception and the elusive nature of identity, leaving viewers to ponder whether the dreamer is searching for their face or running from it.</p>
