About the Project
«The Legend of Zirikhan» is an original short animated film in which an ancient tale of a fallen kingdom comes alive in wall frescoes. It is a legend about a people created from clay, who received a divine gift only to be destroyed by their own hubris—at least, that is what was remembered.
Target Audience: People who love fantasy works; those interested in original, author-created settings; and theorists who wish to delve deeper and independently explore the plot. Genre: Fantasy, Mythology, Drama. Estimated Runtime: 3–4 minutes Execution Technique: Frame-by-frame 2D animation
Logline
Many years after Zirikhan was buried underground, his current ruler recalls the legend of her kingdom’s fall. But this tradition diverges from what she experienced firsthand.
