SYNOPSIS
What happens inside a head that never rests? The In-The-Head Film creates a subjective experience inside a neurodivergent mind, where thoughts, memories, and obsessions intertwine. Combining hand-drawn frame-by-frame animation, collage techniques, rotoscope, and generative AI, the film constructs a dense and ever-shifting visual landscape. At its core, the film explores how thinking itself can become a physical experience: sweating through thoughts, stumbling over words, or drowning in images that multiply endlessly. Sound and music – overlapping voices, dissonant textures, and fragments of melody – intensify the impression of a mind both trapped and liberated by its own activity. A life in a state of “too much.” Beneath all the flickering lies a deeper question: What does it mean to finish something? Or to function in this world? How does one live under the pressure of infinite stimuli – clenching teeth at night, flooded with ideas by day? Rather than explaining, the film embodies this inner world. It invites viewers to experience a state of heightened perception, where chaos and poetry exist side by side.
