A poster with a stylized New Wave aesthetic. The poster is for the underground Sleep Cinema Film Festival, a 24-hour continuous screening of footage from clinical sleep studies. Hours 6-15 contain REM Sleep Behavior Disorder (RBD) studies. The black and white footage is grainy and occasionally warped, as if recorded on a bad VCR. The footage shows subjects in the midst of sleep distress, such as the young man with RBD throwing punches in his sleep. The shadow of his clenched fist dances on the bedsheet every time he raises his arm. The glowing white timestamp reads 09-20-85 00:56:51.
