A train speeds through the station without stopping. Where is the driver, and why didn't he hit the brakes? Someone spotted him on the roof of the train. Someone else saw him wandering between the carriages. Yet he himself is somewhere else entirely, suspended in a realm between waking and dreaming. He forgot who he was and why he existed. He switched to autopilot, and his mind left his body. This surreal animated short was directed by Patricie Švadlenková, who drew inspiration from her personal experiences with depersonalization. *Autopilot* was created at the Ladislav Sutnar Faculty of Design and Art.
