Director’s statement:

​

The art of animation for me is a way to freely visualize the poetic thought, to follow another logic without renouncing to the storyline, but at the same time without being bound by it.

In his story “Brutus”, Ludvík Aškenazy managed to create a reality resembling to a piece of poetry, imbued with movement and rhythm.

Movement became the film’s principal character. The intraframe movement that we see with the eyes, as well as the associative movement of thought. I sought to make the imagination work following the associative memory, creating tension with a sense that we have a presentiment of, but which escapes us all the time.

The shift of the traditional point of view, the continuous playing with what we can see in reality and what we can only imagine, shakes the perception and broadens room for interpretation. That is when a certain and final point of view, a definitive sense become impossible. That is what resembles the most to life: when in quest of love and truth inside ourselves, touching an imperfect world, one can ruin the internal harmony, so hard to recreate, without even noticing.
