Drux Flux
20084 min 47 secFilm: Animation
Direction: Theodore Ushev
Production: René ChénierMarc Bertrand
Partly figurative, partly abstract, Drux Flux is an animation film of fast-flowing images showing modern people crushed by industry. Inspired by One-Dimensional Man by the philosopher Herbert Marcuse, the filmmaker deconstructs industrial scenes and their terrifying geometry to show the inhumanity of progress. A film without words.
