Michael Sciulli and Melissa White - Quest: A Long Ray's Journey Into Light
I'm not sure if its a yearning for yesteryear, or there really is something to it, but I find computer animation from the 70s to the 90s to be much more pleasing, magical, and overall what I'm looking for in CGI. This is purely an experimental short showcasing the beautiful and abstract worlds that could be created with the technology available in 1986.

E. Elias Merhige - Begotten
It's not an easy task finding a more obscure, avant-garde picture such as Begotten. The beginning scene is of God (a bandaged horrifying looking being) disemboweling himself. Mother earth is birthed through his remains. The entire film is shot in a high contrast, high grain setting with odd, minimalistic sounds instead of music such as grunts, grinding, and cricket noises which creates an aesthetic that is both disturbing and pleasing. This is a VERY difficult movie to watch, but its one of those movies that makes a permanent impact on your psyche.

Gaspar NoƩ - Enter the Void
Nowhere will you find a film like Enter the Void. What you will notice immediately are the incredibly inventive camera angles and beautiful screenshots. Ever wondered if a psychedelic experience and/or the experience of death and experiences after could be depicted in film? Well... it happened! Most of the film is done in a first person perspective which calls for extremely interesting/mind bending visuals, especially since we see the character trip on DMT through his perspective, then eventually see him die and his spirit (essence) leaving his body. The ideas posed in this movie about death and ascending to another plane are just as mind blowing as the visuals presented throughout the movie.
