Hypnagogia

Magdaléna Kvasničková / Czech Republic / 2017 / World Premiere / 4 min.


synopsis

An animated depiction of the half-waking state before we fall asleep. Various people describe how they see the state between waking and sleeping, while the visual show hypnagogic hallucinations – i.e., the vision that accompany the process of falling asleep. Colours are intertwined with shapes to create abstract landscapes from which every now and then concrete objects emerge.
