The God

Directed by Konstantin Bronzit

Produced by Melnitsa Animation Studio, CTB Film Company

20034 min5.4 / 10

A surreal, darkly comic short that uses a fly's annoyance of a sacred statue to explore themes of divine frustration, ego, and the gap between spiritual ideals and petty human impulse.

The film shows Shiva in a very traditional representation--in bronze and standing within a circle of bronze flames. Suddenly, a fly lands on Shiva's arm--one of many arms to be exact. Slowly, the bronze statue comes alive and swats the fly--missing again and again and eventually smashing the bronze circle.
