At the Tuileries funfair, a young woman crosses a universe saturated with light, sound, and color, her smile seemingly unalterable and her eyes absorbing every detail, as the plunge into her gaze leads where perception falters.

The scouts
Three directors collaborating on a 2-minute sensory flood at a funfair—sure, it's formally adventurous, but it leans too hard into the dreamlike-gaze-as-profundity routine that every experimental shorts programmer is already half-asleep watching.
The three-director structure suggests a deliberate compositional strategy, and the precision of saturating light and sound to unmoor perception from the figure's unwavering smile reads as a disciplined exploration of surrealism's formal vocabulary—this is craft aware of itself.
The decision to keep the smile fixed while the sensory environment fractures around it is the hinge that makes the whole thing work—it's the one choice that shifts from abstract experiment into something that *feels* like watching someone's interior world splinter.
