Mindscape

Explore the painstaking and mesmerizing pinscreen animation technique in this short film about an artist who steps inside his painting and wanders about in a landscape peopled with symbols that trigger unexpected associations. A film without dialogue.
Directed by Jacques Drouin - 1976

Hard to even wrap your head around what it took to make this movie. Phenomenal.

[@JimC]

This is an intriguing, haunting, shadowy film. I saw it a few years after it came out, and I have never forgotten it.

Sometimes our minds drift us to places where we dont want to be, however it shouldnt stop us from wondering and wandering .

Knowing how this technique is done makes the whole thing extraordinary for me -- before, not at all.

[@LighthalzenSS]

Art can not be recreated again... that's why it's art. A Masterpiece for me, no Doubts.

[@Eldarodosplumbs]

Complete masterpiece! Music, art style, just superb. Love the composition.

I think he went back in time to his childhood home and toy box. The doors were always open until he couldn't go back home. The maze is life and the doors are no longer easy to find. When he comes back he's in his room just looking at his masterpiece but around him he's just in a dark drab place, not the beautiful landscape of beauty. Kind of sad...the clock could mean his time is running out.

nah, it is explain about his depressed mind

[@adamwatson2914]

Wow, magnificent... So mesmerising, it`s like, you don`t know where the world of the imagination ends or begins - what a gem! Excellente!

[@FrilledMayfly_AmberlyFerrule]

Beautiful animation made with an outstanding technique. Too bad surreal shit like this scares the fuck outta me. Honestly it really is beautiful regardless

Imagination is a remedy against loneliness.

[@einekartoffel2490]

To be honest, when I imagine lucid dreams there is usually always a sense of loneliness in the back of my head.

[@goofygoober4901]

this is really interesting for some reason

[@CandleFlameFilms]

Knowing how this was animated makes it unbelievably stressful to watch.

[@arnadox2947]

Magnifique ! J'aimerais tellement voir un long métrage fait par cet animateur

[@SpacePirate04]

Creating This Kind of Arts are really Takes a Time or a Day Before you finish It but It's Really Worth it to the End, Nice!❤️

[@1aredhel127]

Astonishing after so many years

[@fogmouthblizzardteet]

[@Allaboutstory]

Woooww I really love the Transitions

[@just1fix2004]

Well done animation, that must have taken some time.

[@KingThrillgore]

This is art

[@cursebreaker666]

Amazing.

[@Lumiere_]

I wonder if he is implying that the box is Pandora's Box, it's definitely full of symbolism though with the items contained.

[@seemeasis]

J'imagine .... très bien imaginer ....

[@Aellipsistical]

Evocatively compelling. I enjoyed this 7 minute journey. The music was so moving too. I feel more enriched after having seeing this. I'm so glad I found this through the new Incubus acoustic cover of their old song "Agoraphobia", as some of the animations are incorporated into their video. I highly recommend the cover as well as the original version, as it is so fitting for these quarantine times. acoustic cover "Agoraphobia " kzbin.info/www/bejne/aYWrgoRjrNicoK8 original version " " kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqKsfp1jbamkbbc

[@pepezoomba]

Yah! Me too. That labyrinth scene catched my eyes

[@olkamur3903]

Awesome

[@adamwatson2914]

This chalky(?) animation style is my favourite kind.

[@L-in-Fabula]

Actually this was done entirely with pinscreens (you know the little wall of pins that you can stick your hand into and it'll leave an impression) so it was just rollers on pins and a manipulation of depth that made this animation, which is even cooler in my opinion.

[@adamwatson2914]

Oh.. Yeah I remember those. Cool, that's made me appreciate it even more, thanks fer info!

[@neginshahroudi7727]

Oh my! I'm shocked! It's fucking unbelievable

[@aw3752]

How did you get the permission to post this? I put this up on my Instagram and Facebook pages and I got shut down over violating copyright. WTF.

Illuminati confirmed 5:08 (I wonder if that's why alex hirsch called the dream demon's realm the mindscape)
