Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Reimagines Koschey the Deathless, traditionally a villain, as a sympathetic outcast — part of a wave of post-Soviet animation reclaiming folklore heroes.
Director Andrey Kolpin storyboarded the White Shadow's realm while listening to dark ambient folk band 'Heilung', resulting in those unnerving rhythmic sequences.
