Insomnia

About This Movie

Insomnia (2020) is this intriguing short glitch animation from Los ingrávidos that plays with perception and reality. The visuals are disorienting yet mesmerizing, employing a kind of digital distortion that really draws you in, almost like a dreamscape that’s both eerie and beautiful. The pacing is quite unique—it's not rushed, more like a slow unraveling of thoughts and feelings. There’s a strong undercurrent of existential themes, exploring the nature of sleep and wakefulness. The practical effects are minimal but effective, enhancing that surreal quality. It’s distinct for its experimental approach, really a piece that lingers in your mind long after viewing. Definitely one that invites repeat watches to catch all its nuances.
