Brief Synopsis

"Dada" is a one-minute experimental short film that immerses viewers in the chaotic and provocative essence of Dadaism. Directed and produced by Kostiantyn Mishchenko, the film reflects the avant-garde movement's core principles: irrationality, cynicism, and the rejection of traditional aesthetic values. Born from the aftermath of World War I, Dadaism denounced the rationalism and logic that led to devastating conflicts, advocating for a radical deconstruction of established art forms. This film captures the spirit of Dadaism, serving as both an anti-war statement and a critique of bourgeois norms, aligning itself with the radical leftist ideologies of anarchism.
