A cross-continental collaboration between filmmaker Scott Portingale and composer Gorkem Sen, CHEMICAL SOMNIA transports the viewer into chemical dimensions, exploring phase transition, fluid dynamics, and chemical reactions. Timelapse and high-speed photography were used on a macro scale to capture these elemental relationships in less than a square inch area on a petri dish. Uniquely resounding original music is performed by Gorkem Sen on an instrument he invented, the yaybahar.
