Joanna Newsom crafts fragile psychedelic folk tunes. Both music and lyrics to “Sprout and the Bean” are reminiscent of the solo work of Syd Barrett in their childlike, magical simplicity and playfulness. The video accompanies this very well with its chalk animations and the empty classroom and enchanted woods settings.
N/A Brummbaer’s YouTube channel is bursting with brilliant and mesmerizing computer-generated visions. “Where in the Universe is Timothy Leary?” goes into the rabbit hole, searching for the lost guru of LSD, and finally reaches the only possible conclusion – “Question authority and think for yourself” – The real Timothy Leary is inside yourself.
Other favorites include a very original take the question of crop circles:
And also one of the finest fractal universes I’ve ever been to:
Animated short-film produced in The Animation Workshop in Viborg, Denmark. By The Animation Workshop, Nicobis, Escorzo, and the Community of Bolivians Animators and is supported by the Danish Government.

From my point of view, this is close from THE apotheosis !
An epic adventure that completely destroys the concepts of thinking “inside/outside the box” and brings us to a new understanding that there is no box. and never was.
Don’t try to make sense of it, just go with the (seminal) flow.
A 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:

(the Nuba Mountains) (traditional medley of two songs from the ‘girls songs’ tradition of music in Central Sudan.
Oh my heart, my loved one has traveled and left me.
I sent a letter to my loved one, the one i adore.
The precious youth of our lands,
Got on a truck and said, i’m going to the Nuba Mountains.
The fire, oh my god,
The reason for this fire, my dear god,
my father told me not to sell salt.
He told me not to sell salt,
but i sell salt because of that beautiful sweet one.
The fire, oh my god
the reason for this fire, my dear god
My father told me not to sell chili and spices.
He told me not to sell chili and spices
but i sell chili and spices because of that beautiful precious catch.
