My Sleepless Friends is a short experimental documentary about insomnia as a common sociopolitical issue of the 21st century. It juxtaposes intimate conversations with "everynight" life scenes to create a wider portrait of certain cracks in our times through which general unrest and unease are revealed. My interviewed sleepless friends share their stories about sleep deprivation. Each of these narratives opens up a new perspective and a new possible understanding of this restless phenomena. Digital portraits, recorded between 2018 and 2022, are linked together and interspersed with carefully edited dreamlike 16mm footage collected between 2009 and 2022.
