1979

Suzan Pitt, first a painter and fashion designer, later became an icon within the animation world. Her surreal sensations create worlds where nothing is what it seems. The physical rawness, sharp sense of humour, and kaleidoscopic use of colour define a body of work full of new forms.

Belgian filmmaker Samy Szlingerbaum directed the short film Le 15/8 in 1973 together with Chantal Akerman. He then made two short films of his own, including this nocturnal Insomnies, which rhythmically and associatively depicts the neon lights of the Belgian capital—like a dream. A mostly formal experiment of barely nine minutes.
