SP 03 Experiments - Off the Beaten Path

The principle behind experimental narratives often already implies that you cannot easily express substance and form in words. This program is defined by films that tell a different story in original styles. Atomic bombs that artistically explode, a human-caterpillar metamorphosis, and a female plastic body that reflects on its own existence as an object. The program is colorful and off the beaten track of mainstream expectations.
