The Dust Never Settles is composed of footage recorded during a fourteen month, 50,000 km road tour of Australia with a soundtrack by The Dirty Three.
Placing fascinating, often humorous encounters with the unconventional individuals who inhabit some of the country's most remote areas against a wilderness of unimaginable magnitude, the director transcends conventions of traditional documentary with her impartial approach and distinctive visual style.
The Dust Never Settles is a rare document of the endlessly diverse landscape and culture of a continent, and a unique record of contemporary Australia.
This is the story of a rational, sceptical woman, a mother and wife, who does not normally remember her dreams. Until she dreamt her horse was dying. She woke so scared she went outside in the night. She found him dead. The next dream told her she would die herself, when she was 48.
The Edge of Dreaming charts every step of that year. The film explores life and death in the context of a warm loving family, whose happiness is increasingly threatened as the dream seems to come true. From the kids' reaction to their horses’ death (they taught the dog a new trick called 'dead dog'), the film mixes humour, science and married life as Amy attempts to understand what is happening to her.
Everyone wrestles with the concept of their own mortality, but few so directly confront the subject. When Amy fell seriously ill, as her dream predicted, she went on a search to change that dream, leading her to eminent neuroscientist Mark Solms, and to new understanding of the complexity of our brains. The final confrontation, going back into her dream with the help of a shaman, reveals a surprising twist to the tale.
