Experiencing Interruptions?

Convulsions

A young man dies, and his flickering consciousness blends in a maelstrom of fading symbols and memories. He has to forgo what bound him to life, accept the inexorable, and enter the void.

Director Statement

There is beauty in death, there is poetry in grief. You can even find some in regret, in bitterness, in anger if you search hard enough. There is beauty in the ugly, the vile, the putrid, because that is precisely what beauty is: a glorification of what we cannot say, a survival mechanism in the face of what we cannot change.
