Labyrinth poster
NR

Matī Kütt’s experimental short animation plunges into the subconscious of a sick society. Through abstract, painted-on-film imagery—twisted pyramids, reverse tunnels, caged woodpeckers—a lone bureaucrat’s inner turmoil unfolds. Birds, oil, and surreal figures evoke existential entrapment, as the bureaucrat’s psyche becomes a labyrinth of alienation and absurdity.
