Mussorgsky's composition is the soundtrack for this pin-screen animated take on night and wild things. A scarecrow blows down, clouds move by quickly. Beings take shape; a town appears, animals flee, and a horse gallops by. A child looks on. Monsters run and float by: the phantasmagoric is everywhere. A woman's figure tumbles through space. A clash ensues. The horse falls. Goblins take control. The night and its denizens are relentless. Forms appear and become grotesque. Will dawn and calm ever come?

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A hallucinogenic fever dream set to Mussorgsky's music, where nightmarish forms writhe and transform across the screen in endless, relentless motion. It's disorienting and grotesque, yet possessed of a strange, almost playful energy beneath the dread.
