WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko (2023)

Directed by Dave Mullins

Animation | War | Short

Overview

Set in an alternate WWI reality where a senseless war rages on, two soldiers on opposite sides of the conflict play a joyful game of chess. A heroic carrier pigeon delivers the soldiers’ chess moves over the battlefield as the fighting escalates. Neither soldier knows his opponent as the game and the war builds to its climatic final move. Whoever wins the game, one thing is for certain: there are no winners in war.

Viewing Notes

Fifth short of the nominees for the Best Animated Short Film. I think this one will win thx to the John Lennon factor but it’s a concept we’ve seen before. Like, it’s fine but nothing special which is why it will probably win.
