Four minutes of "reason as a permeable membrane" with one performer and a Maya Deren namedrop — sounds like a film school exercise wearing a beret. Could be lovely, could be nothing.
The conceptual framing — reason as crossable membrane — gestures toward Deren without supplying enough on the page to verify whether the film delivers it. A four-minute experiment with one performer; the test is in the watching.
Four minutes, 163 views, French-language Vimeo with bare credits — Laporte-Rainville does his own DP, edit, script, direction, and the bare-bones approach is consistent across his page (État onirïode, Long-Lost Audio, Taìjítú). The 'transrationality' frame is conceptually rich but the page won't tell me whether the images carry it.
