Gloria Victoria

Animation (Shorts) • 6m 58s

Directed by Theodore Ushev • Animation • 2012 • 7 minutes

Third part of a trilogy on the relationship between art and power, Gloria Victoria is the work of a gifted filmmaker and visual artist, a virtuoso of collage and recycling that summons surrealism as much as Dracula, Cubists of the horror of dismembered bodies. Multiplying quotations, evocations and references, Theodore Ushev orchestrates a thundering nightmare for peace.
