The Dais Project is a trilogy of films created by Irish stylist Sonya Lennon and Swiss/Irish film-maker Christian Ammann.

The film received international recognition as a work of significance and beauty and was selected for the La Jolla Fashion Film Festival, in Los Angeles where it was screened alongside films by Bruce Weber and Karl Lagerfeld. Dais II is now following in its footsteps as it also has been selected for the 2012 festival.
