Editorial summary

“Between Day and Dream” enters the record as 1922 film by Bruno Ziener. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Between, Dream and film can confirm, complicate or overturn.

Editorial reviewBest approached as a cultural-object dossier: authorship and date matter, but circulation and reception often explain the wider significance. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1922, 2009—that can be checked directly. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its strongest next move is a source search built around Between, Dream and film.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Between Day and Dream” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Between, Dream and film provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 30, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q21999914. The first chronological checks are 1922 and 2009.

Critical limits

Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Separate the work, its editions or performances, and its later reception. Catalogue records, publication histories and object files often preserve different parts of that story.
