Synopsis

This pin-screen animated short, set to Mussorgsky's composition, presents a surreal nocturnal world teeming with wild creatures and strange beings. A scarecrow is blown down as clouds rush by, and forms begin to take shape, revealing a town and animals fleeing in panic. A horse gallops past, watched by a child. Monsters run and float through the scene, creating a phantasmagoric atmosphere. A woman's figure tumbles through space, followed by a clash in which the horse falls and goblins take over. The night and its creatures remain relentless, with forms continuously emerging and twisting into grotesque shapes. The film questions whether dawn and peace will ever arrive.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 1

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
