This documentary in two parts is an exceptional point of view about contemporary visionary art and surrealism, following the international exhibition "Dreams & Divinities travelling show".
Next spring, the exhibition will go to Mexico, showing new pieces and including exceptional cultural events.
That is why we have decided to keep going with the movie, and create a second part.
This film is a personal creative project, but is also part of the collective energy of Dreams & Divinities, by promoting the work of the exhibited artists and visionary art in general.

FOLLOWING DREAMS & DIVINITIES teaser - low def from Vincent GALLET on Vimeo.
"Following Dreams & Divinities" is a documentary about the exhibition "Dreams & Divinities" : Through the explanations of the curator Liba Waring Stambolion and a dynamic editing of the pieces, the movie follows the event from its launch at Toledo, Spain in March 2013, and enables us to dive into the astonishing universe of the 60 surrealist, fantastic and visionary artists.
The whole film is 47 minutes long and also includes interviews of some artists and a presentation of some of the events that took place at the conference in Toledo.
Vincent Gallet is now preparing the second opus which is going to be shot in San Cristobal, Mexico, in March 2014, with other events, and new pieces.
I am a french film-maker and actor. My work in films is a kind of anthropological and passionated quest, which, through fiction and documentary tries to seek the secret soul of arts; wether it is through visionnary art (Following Dreams an divinities), Flamenco (Manuela / Flamenco / Duende), cabaret (O Solitude), contemporary dance (Instants d'accord) or south indian ritual forms (Theyyam, The world of Kutiyattam).
