A Short Psychological Evaluation

Mind in Motion: A Short Psychological Evaluation

Take a multi-faceted look at the human subconscious in this colourful collection of psychological animated cinema exploring our most inner desires, anxieties and journeys

poster PvdT Samuël Leemeijer – Mind in Motion
Exploring the endless possibilities of the extremely versatile medium of animation, “A Short Psychological Evaluation” is a colourful trip through the human psyche, showcasing a varied selection of animated short films produced by both students and industry professionals.

As there’s so little known about the precise workflow of our minds, studying this facet of our bodies in audio-visual art is quite a daunting task. Since there’s no limit to visualisation when animating, it’s the perfect medium to comprehensively show us what it’s like to undergo various mental processes. So come along for a journey through personal subconscious observations and experience psychological animation at its most mind-bending.

The programme will be hosted by Programmer of the Future Samuël Leemeijer.
