Mindscape (French: Le Paysagiste) is a 1976 pinscreen animation short film by Jacques Drouin, produced by the National Film Board of Canada.[1][2]

It was Drouin's second pinscreen work, after his 1974 work Trois exercices sur l'écran d'épingles d'Alexeieff, and received tremendous international recognition.[3]

A film without dialogue, Mindscape shows an artist stepping inside his painting and wandering through a symbolically rich landscape.[4] The film had a budget of $38,740 (equivalent to $195,693 in 2023).[5]
