- DirectorTheodore UshevRecycling elements of surrealism and cubism, this animated short by Theodore Ushev focuses on the relationship between art and war.

It is at once a symphony that serves the war machine, that stirs the masses, and art that mourns the dead, voices its outrage and calls for peace.
