Drux Flux is a 2008animated short byTheodore Ushev, inspired byHerbert Marcuse’s treatiseOne-Dimensional Man.[1]
A film without words,Drux Flux uses figurative and abstract imagery to portray people as crushed by industry and progress. The film features a musical score byAlexander Mossolov, and was produced inMontreal by theNational Film Board of Canada.[2]
Ushev began work on the film in 2007. The NFB had asked him to create a 3-D version ofTower Bawher, but finding the work tedious, the filmmaker decided to begin work onDrux Flux instead. The two films are similar in style, both utilizing Sovietconstructivist imagery and Russian classical music score.[3]
Drux Flux received theCanadian Film Institute Award for Best Canadian Animation at theOttawa International Animation Film Festival,[4] and was nominated for best animated short at the29th Genie Awards.[1][2]
