The CAN (Centre d’art Neuchâtel) has asked Nicolas Party and Jesse Wine to imagine a one-of-a-kind autonomous cinematic experience which will plunge you into a maze of paintings, sculptures, ceramics and furniture created by both artists. Everything has been conceived so as to enhance the sensory reception of the film, and is in keeping with the innovative tradition of fantastic cinema!!
