ColourBleed

In a bleak, industrial city, a reclusive artist named Anya becomes obsessed with capturing the essence of a recurring, unsettling color that appears in her dreams. As her paintings become more vivid and disturbing, she begins to lose touch with reality, suspecting the color holds a dark secret about her past and the city itself. A cynical detective investigating a series of mysterious disappearances finds his own sanity tested as he delves into Anya's increasingly fractured world.

The distinctive 'colour' that permeates the film was achieved through a combination of experimental digital filtering and actual in-camera chemical processes, a technique rarely employed in modern filmmaking.
