Psychedelic colours, shapes and music. In the dreams of a patient with severe burns, this film will take us on a surreal ride full of disturbing images. Care in a futuristic hospice is portrayed with a mesmerising style: a combination of CGI and classical drawing, titles and commentary as if taken from a sci-fi psychological handbook.

Compound animation loops filmed on a single canvas depict an immensely playful, colourful and abstract whirlwind of various particles perfectly harmonised with Bach’s excellent composition. This one-minute-long abstract film in which Josh Shaffner made good use of his experience with painting was made at CalArts in a programme for experimental animation.
