I live near a forest, and I cherish the afternoon walks between the trees, connecting to all the sounds and vibes around, so obviously I love this video which is described like this on vimeo:
“A metaphor for shifting perspective towards an organismic world view by means of unplugging and disconnecting from technology and reconnecting with our surroundings.”

PLASTIC BAGS love story
21 DecA night walk in the windy streets of Tel Aviv turns into a ecstatic-meditative journey, following the magical encounter of two plastic bags who wonder the streets together, going on and on in a mystical cyclical bag dance. And for a moment the whole street seems to wake up with vibrant life – joining them in a communal dance of bags, feathers, flowers and even a butterfly.
What I love about this movie, among other things, is it’s sweeping spontaneity: the powerful sense our protagonists radiate (and even I as a viewer have) of witnessing a magical moment – of being in the presence of magic. This magic is very quiet and low-key. It could have easily have gone unnoticed (and indeed is unnoticed by the bypassers and the cars who cross the street), but our two protagonists, ready to explore the mystery of the streets, are rewarded with the subtle poetical magic that makes this scene enchanted.
“Took part in the making/filming/singing of the movie:

Endtrip
9 DecAn animation short about the hallucinations of a girl with a drug overdose by Koen de Mol, Olivier Ballast and Rick Franssen. The opening scene reminded me a bit of Gaspar Noe’s “Enter the Void” and while the subject matter is more narcotic than psychedelic (you virtually can’t OD on most classic psychedelics like mushrooms or LSD), the hallucinations themselves are pretty spectacular to watch.
