WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko
2023 · Film · short · 11 min
Directed by Dave Mullins
Set in an alternate WWI reality where a senseless war rages on, two soldiers on opposite sides of the conflict play a joyful game of chess. A heroic carrier pigeon delivers the soldiers' chess moves over the battlefield as the fighting escalates. Neither soldier knows his opponent as the game and the war builds to its climatic final move. Whoever wins the game, one thing is for certain: there are no winners in war.

According to Epic, this is the first time that a film made in Unreal Engine 5 won an Oscar for Best Animated Short. ("WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko")
