The Introduction - Rinat Gazizov (surreal animation)

This is a six-minute short from 1992. Basically one long stream of strange living forms mutating, dissolving, and reforming, with the main hit being the abstract, hypnotic movement itself rather than any clear story. I think. Maybe?

Rinat Gazizov wrote, directed, and drew it, and composer Michael Chekalin did the score.

It was produced at Pilot, which was the first private animation studio in the Soviet Union, founded in 1988 right before everything fell apart. It became a lab for weird, personal, non-state-sanctioned stuff while the old system was collapsing. This wasn't made by the people in charge of the shit Russia is doing now, so put away the hate hard-ons for now.
