Wiki.

Mindscape (French: Le Paysagiste) is a 1976 pinscreen animation short film by Jacques Drouin, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.

It was Drouin's second pinscreen work, after his 1974 work Trois exercices sur l'écran d'épingles d'Alexeieff, and received tremendous international recognition.

A film without dialogue, Mindscape shows an artist stepping inside his painting and wandering through a symbolically rich landscape. The film had a budget of $38,740 (equivalent to $195,693 in 2023).
