Somnia

experimental short

27:25 min

2026

Somnia is an experimental short film that blends documentary, essayistic, and fictional elements. It begins with a real journey that gradually transforms into a symbolic and surreal narrative. The film follows the path of the Major Arcana of the Tarot as a story of inner and outer development. The protagonist, Manuel Baumer, traverses landscapes from the mountains of Tyrol to the coasts of Liguria, while his inner evolution is reflected in the film's visual language: from documentary clarity to an immersive, fantastical dreamlike visuals.
 

The film project was created as part of the 2025 work grant from The Tyrolean Regional Government.

Somnia has been screened at the film festival Diametrale in Innsbruck in March 2026.
