Description Burning with visual energy and originality, Sleep Dealer is a fascinating and visionary work of science fiction that is as politically engaged as it is enjoyable to watch. Set in a near future marked by airtight international borders, militarized coporate warriors, and an underground class of node workers who plug their nervous systems into a computer network that commodofies memory, Alex Rivera's film stuns audiences with this look at how the mishandled political and social issues of today could precipitate tomorrow. Presented by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
Followed by: A Filmmaker's Journey. Join Alex Rivera to discuss his creative process to bring the vision of his first feature to light. Rivera developed Sleep Journey at the Sundance Institute Screenwriters and Directors Labs, which provide emerging filmmakers mentorships with accomplished professionals.
