Daydream
Written and directed by Christine Molly and Joe Lawlor (desperate optimists)

This specially commissioned film for Made In Liverpool 06 is a highly poetic and meditative work tracing the connection between a city during a moment of great change and how this moment can be reflected in the emotional world of its citizens. It is shot in 10 scenes across the city, involving 150 people from Liverpool who kindly contributed to the making of the film. Daydream reveals in all its glory, desperate optimists' characteristically long and daring single takes in 35mm cinemascope.
