Life is a short pause between two mysteries.” -C.G. Jung
Jung & Restless dives into the mythopoetic realm with mandalas and dream inspired images that grasp at enigma.
“Jung & Restless is beautiful and spectacular. The synchrony between the animation and the music and soundtrack is fabulous.”
-Marcel Jean, Artistic Director, Annecy International Animation Festival
