directed by Maciek Szczerbowski and Chris Lavis/
Blending animation, live action, and stereoscopic 3D, Cochemare is an immersive, tactile, and sensory experience. As the viewer journeys from the mystical Forest of Storms to the orbiting International Space Station, the film forces us to confront our notions of voyeurism, femininity, and the separation of body and mind.
“This film actually took longer to make than Titanic, but I’m not quite sure
why. It is, possibly, my most favourite film that I have made so far, apart
from the ones I like more.”
– Maciek Szczerbowski, director of Cochemare
