Invention of Love

Invention of Love (2010) is a ten-minute animated short you can watch online on iFILM — small in length, long in afterglow. Andrey Shushkov's hand-built drama unfolds in a clockwork world where even feelings have to be assembled from gears and springs.

An inventor sets out to win the woman he loves the only way he knows: by making things. He builds, he tinkers, he hopes. Whether she answers is the whole question. There's no dialogue at all — just movement, machinery and music carrying the story. A quiet, melancholy piece for anyone who loves auteur animation in short form.
