    • Synopsis
    • A bit of paint remains in those who pass through the Creativity Workshop at the psychiatric hospital that was a mental asylum. On the hands, on clothes, on the faucet, some splashes of paint on the floor. In this environment, the colors of the walls contrast with the other white walls from the asylum´s centennial building construction. COLOR BURST is an encounter with colors, but above all with the otherness. That which cannot be recorded in patients´ cards, small events that escape institutional records. A film about art, madness and freedom based on the interns, those who came to us and the professionals from a creation workshop located inside of a psychiatric hospital.
