"Where are you now?" one character asks someone who's tripping on hallucinogens. When you're trapped in one world, what wouldn't you use to get out (besides your cell phone)? Which is more real, travel with our physical bodies or within our minds? Whether through dreaming, drugs or dance, the people in these visionary films take a trip outside the confines of their psyches as well as their flesh.
