Legendary actor Patrick McGoohan turns his famous character from THE PRISONER upside down as the psychiatrist in charge of an insane asylum. He has connected his inmates into a group mind where they share each other's psychoses, dreams and sexuality with all the scary and titillating implications imaginable!

In this avant-garde look at a series of unique or eccentric men and women, director Stavros Tornes has created a film that is visually engaging, but too obscure in many points to be understood. The main protagonists are a young taxi driver -- a man who has had some very unusual, puzzling, and inspirational experiences -- and a middle-aged painter he gains as a new friend.

By the end of the movie, transformations are in store for the pair of friends, reflecting the tenor of the film throughout. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi...

Catatonik is a multi sensory installation project which becomes part of my final study for the course design for social change. Originally a study on coal mining it grew as a study of perception and sensitization of a place very few have been to physically but have a vast socio economic and humanitarian implication. The audio-visual nature of this project lets experience one such interpretation which goes against the stereotypical description of a space,like such, a coal mine. The ethnographic reconstruction of the space happened entirely on a completely different fabric of reality. The installation was entirely made in the campus of Djad both the recording of the audio, video and its related textures....
