What is the name of this film?

Synopsis

"A super-8 short film I made during my few months at film school which is some of the inspiration for my work in Doctor Who. It tackles questions of self-referentiality and representations of infinity, while attempting to explain Godel's Theorem of Incompleteness in a visual medium. A cold mess? No AI was used in 1982 or 2026" - Rachel Talalay
