The indie documentary Dreaming Dogs is generating buzz after its screening at the 2024 Vienna Film Festival.


Directed by Austrian filmmaker Elsa Kremser and German filmmaker Levin Peter, this poignant documentary explores the intertwined lives of humans and stray dogs in Moscow.


Following the success of their 2019 film Space Dogs, Dreaming Dogs focuses on Nadja, an elderly woman, and her loyal companion, Dingo, alongside a pack of strays navigating a rapidly changing urban landscape.


Shot from a dog's perspective, the film captures the mutual dependence between humans and their four-legged friends, offering a glimpse into the resilience of these animals and their caretakers.



The documentary emphasizes the close connection between species, exploring what happens when life without each other seems unimaginable.


The filmmakers’ approach keeps the camera at the animals' level, providing close-ups of dogs while minimizing human presence, a technique that amplifies the raw emotion of the story.

For Indian audiences, Dreaming Dogs resonates with the realities of stray dogs in the country.


Like Moscow, India has a large population of free-ranging dogs that have coexisted with humans for centuries.


These animals have become an integral part of the urban fabric, much like the strays in Moscow.


Indian films like Pariah Dog (2019) have similarly depicted the bond between street dogs and the marginalized communities who care for them in cities like Kolkata.

As Dreaming Dogs continues to garner attention at film festivals, it reminds us of the deep connection between humans and dogs—across cultures, borders, and circumstances.


The documentary’s simple yet emotionally powerful storytelling brings to light the importance of kindness and care toward stray animals, whether in Moscow or the streets of India.


Dreaming Dogs is a must-watch for dog lovers and anyone interested in the profound bond that exists between people and their pets, strays or otherwise.


There is no confirmed release date for this yet, so keep an eye out for future updates.
