The story begins when the traffic light turns white and everything becomes \u201creal.\u201d People stop fearing the act of being themselves, revealing their true selves, or perhaps descending into madness.<br \/>\nThe film asks whether it is right to break these boundaries or if there is a cosmic wisdom in keeping these masks on for a greater good. All of this is expressed through rhythmic visuals and pulsating experimental sounds in a one-minute animated piece.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3009,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[34],"class_list":["post-2955","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-laureats-invisible-borders-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/2955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2955"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/2955\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3152,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/2955\/revisions\/3152"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3009"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/baytalfenn.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=2955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
