BBC New Music Shorts 2009: The Ganzfeld Procedure

In partnership with 6Music, BBC Electric Proms commissioned a New Music Short in 2009, by rising director Keith McCarthy. Filmmakers were asked to submit creative ideas for short films inspired by new track ‘Dog Days Are Over’ by Florence and the Machine. Selected from over 225 entries, Keith worked with producers at Colonel Blimp and received a production budget of just £5,000 to make his film. The result is quite amazing.

Synopsis: The Ganzfeld Procedure is a technique used in the field of parapsychology to test for ESP. When two patients meet during this eponymous experiment something unexpected happens – they fall in love. Inside their minds!

    please everyone do NOT try the ganzfeld experiment please, i tried it and i will never ever do it again. u will not experience those events that was happening in this video. instead, u will be fully conscious but u wont have control over ur body. i felt like i was trapped and constricted. please do NOT try this experiment by urself.

    this short is just amazing.
    photography is handled so very well, it has that 70ish look I personally love. And I can’t t think of a better way to integrate the song with a short story.
    I actually did submit an idea for this same song, but I completely understand why is was gracefullyl refused. Yours was just beyond…
