OPIR*with ShuShu*

Country: Germany

Opir (Ukrainian: resistance) is a 360° experimental frame-by-frame animation, fully hand-drawn and sound-based.

It emerged from the confrontation my family and I experienced during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Opir is emotional resistance: connecting, empowering, and healing through sound and image.
