Where to watch Mindscape (1976)

Story

A painter becomes absorbed in his own work when he discovers he can step directly into the canvas he has created. Once inside the painted world, he encounters a realm that exists beyond the flat surface, exploring landscapes and scenes that take on new dimensions within the frame. The short film plays with the boundary between artistic creation and reality.
