And It Will Echo

"And It Will Echo" (1987) is a science-fiction animated film you can watch online on iFILM. Mixing drawn animation with live-action footage, it adapts the speculative story "Heritage" by Gennady Tishchenko.

Tishchenko wrote the source story and directed the film himself, folding the two techniques into a meditation on what one generation hands down to the next. The result is quiet Soviet science fiction that puts its idea ahead of any spectacle. Thirty-five minutes aimed at anyone fond of short-story sci-fi from the 1980s and auteur animation.
