Synopsis

Theodore Ushev’s acclaimed 20th century trilogy concludes with this fusion of 3D and Russian constructivist-styled animation. Drawing on elements of surrealism and cubism, this animated short by Theodore Ushev explores the relationship between art and war. Driven by the “invasion” theme from Shostakovich’s Leningrad Symphony (No. 7), the film presents imagery of battlefronts and massacres, moving from Dresden to Guernica, from the Spanish Civil War to Star Wars. It is simultaneously a symphony that serves the war machine, stirs the masses, and art that mourns the dead, voices its outrage, and calls for peace.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 2

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.
