- Gottfried Helnwein & the Dreaming Child is a documentary that explores what happens when the Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein takes on the role of Production Designer for the never-before-seen opera "The Dreaming Child" in Tel Aviv, Israel in 2010, written by Israel's most famous playwright, Hanoch Levin.
For Helnwein, the child has always been the symbol of innocence and innocence betrayed, a motif that persists throughout much of his work. But when the Israeli Opera creative team casts an adult to play the lead child, Helnwein must fight to preserve the opera's integrity and Levin's original vision.

Levin and Helnwein are two very intelligent, perceptive and innovative humans. The team here led by the director and Helnwein have created something of universal significance. Helnwein's work has for years been misunderstood by many, his is an important voice that should be heeded. His powerful paintings hit hard and serve to make us question the world we've created.
beautiful
He paints over photographs?
Great documentary on two extremely poignant artists. I share the same sort of paedophobia-part of the anti-natalism which keeps me from celebrating births is the massive and unshakeable fear for every child's future. That's mostly going through a Western-eyes context/filter; forget the tragedies in e.g. Africa etc. It's catastrophic and overwhelming.
he paints over photographs actually. quite sad
That is clearly his work, to deform something perfect (innocence). And they are his own photographs.
I have never heard that? His works are described as "oil on canvas" and others are described as "prints".
@@katherincastillo4315- To deform something perfect? In the beginnings he shows in perfect aquarell-paintings (which is the most difficult technique) that innocent children are abused and all the cruelty behind the curtain of the civilized world.
