Classical Arts Film Festival: Film Block Three

Film Block Three of The Classical Arts Film Festival exhibits three films: METAPHORMS, THE COLORBLIND ARTIST, and STOUT HEARTED - George Stout and the Guardians of Art

METAPHORMS
Running Time: 11min. 41sec.
A psychologist and a painter interpret the works of young autistic people at an exhibition opening. Their conversation seems to target the abstract paintings, however, their real topic is the elusive and constantly changing dynamics of their relationship. While they walk through the gallery, it becomes clear, that they have as many difficulties talking about their feelings, as the artists themselves.
