An observer, who clears his mind and constrains his resources to work only with time and motion in space, can not only find pixilation rapture, but what’s more, if he connects to the wave, his journey will consume him in his entirety. And everything plays its part – waving of the grass, clouds, hills and valley, sunlight and also ourselves. A non-narrative pixilation of the Czech landscape.

Non-narrative and abstract films are very rare among students. But Dana Bubáková’s The Mindbender is one of them – the director teeters on the border of a real story and an abstract visual expression of complex emotions.
