After winning the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature with Man on Wire earlier this year, director James Marsh is continuing to push his career forward with both fiction and non-fiction films. His next documentary, currently underway with UK production company Wall to Wall, will tackle the subject of dreams. Dream Diaries focuses on a Canadian man who wrote down all of his dreams over the course of his life:

“The project has its origin in a collection of dream diaries that are held in a university in Santa Cruz. I was recommended the diaries of an old man who had recorded every dream he ever had about his wife and the project is a record of a love affair.”

Apparently James Marsh has an “obsessive interest in dreams”, and from the sounds of it, the movie will be a mix of both documentary and fictional narrative. In the meantime, he is finishing up work on Red Riding: 1980, part of a trilogy based on the true story of The Yorkshire Ripper made for Britain’s Channel 4. I’ve embedded an interesting interview below where Marsh talks about moving between fiction and non-fiction.
