An artist's Parisian refuge hides a surreal portal to the unknown.
THRESHOLD OF THE VOID
An experimental surrealist film about altered states, creativity and illness.
In 1974 Paris, always check what’s behind the next door—especially in a surrealist drama.
Jean-François Davy’s experimental blend of drama and fantasy throws a Paris-bound artist into a chilling fairytale: rent a room, meet your fate, and try not to peek behind forbidden doors. Its surrealist flourishes and altered-state ambiguity should keep more than just art students up at night.
