What does friendship mean? How do we become friends with each other, from strangers or even enemies? This short film set explores friendship in different forms and portrays the wonderful moments of connection and reconciliation. Sometimes, new friendship is born through sharing a sense of loss (Little Parrot and The Ride) or a passion for sports (Match Point). Other times, we become friends despite our differences whether it's race, ethnicity, or class (Hoang the Paper Boy and Porcelain). Of course, we can also dream about a world that is more friendly, where we do not hate any more (Hex the Patriarchy). Sharing Dreams in Paris reflects on what it means to be friends and to have friends. - Jiyon Byun
