THE DAY WE DANCED ON THE MOON

Germany, 2011 | 11 Minutes | A film by Tristan Daws

  • SYNOPSIS

    On Ireland’s rugged West Coast, a reggae band from London make their way to play in an arts festival. Long-term mental health sufferers, they share their tales of psychosis, the wrestling between reality and an imaginary world which can seem all too real. We might all have our day on the moon, but sooner or later we will all come crashing down to earth…
