Collective Unconscious,
The Movie

February 12th, 2026

Explore music, strange worlds, crazy characters, dreams and nightmares in an evening of live music and a feature-length film screening.

Billy, an aspiring artist and musician, grapples with the challenges of growing up, navigating heartbreak, anxiety, and a myriad of nightmares. His quest leads him on a surreal odyssey through his dreams, where he seeks to unravel the deeper significance of his many concerns.

Grab your popcorn and settle in to experience this future cult-classic at the Stanford Perrott Lecture Theatre on campus at Alberta University of the Arts.

Collective Unconscious the Movie is a collaborative film made and curated by AUArts alumni Matthew Springer (BDes 2020, Photography), Jared Tailfeathers (BFA 2015, Painting), and Kyle Green (BFA 2015, Drawing) in the local band Ride the Sky and Calgary Film group Thunder Lizard Collective.
