I am not aware of having any form of vestibular disorder, and it has generally taken fairly deliberate effort to cause any discomfort when looking at a screen— A Slower Speed of Light was able to make me feel mild discomfort after ten minutes, which I understand to be not uncommon, but it’s almost alone in that.

It’s not as bad as mystery meat navigation, but its navigation scheme is very dubious, because it lacks the “tells” of normal web browsing.
It’s an interesting technical demonstration, but not a good website for normal people to use. For a film-maker it may or may not backfire, but I’ve seen a couple of sites of developers, designers and such agencies, that looked and behaved vaguely like this from a navigation perspective, and the main thing that I take out of such sites is that the the creator of the site didn’t care about accessibility. And I don’t mean making the site usable for disabled people, I mean making the site usable for anyone. I would never hire any such person or organisation for any web development work.
(I failed to notice this the first time, but this site is also enormous. I killed it off as it hit 75MB, and I think it was still loading more video. I will freely and precisely describe such a page size as absurd and insane. I would not have loaded the site even once had I realised what and how large it would be.)
