Mad God<\/span><\/strong> is a stop-motion fever dream, crafted over a 30 year span by legendary effects artist Phil Tippett (Star Wars, Robocop). The film plunges into a decaying, post-apocalyptic underworld ruled by machines and creatures. <\/span>Mad God <\/span>is a visceral descent into madness, built frame by frame with obsessive detail. It\u2019s shown in our Dystopia section because it embodies pure collapse \u2013 of worlds, bodies, and reason itself. Tippett\u2019s nightmare isn\u2019t just about the end of civilization; it\u2019s about what festers long after it. A masterpiece of animated decay.<\/span><\/span><\/p>

Mad God<\/span><\/strong> ist ein Stop-Motion-Fiebertraum, der \u00fcber 30 Jahre hinweg vom legend\u00e4ren Effektk\u00fcnstler Phil Tippett (Star Wars, Robocop) geschaffen wurde. Der Film st\u00fcrzt hinab in eine verfallene, postapokalyptische Unterwelt, beherrscht von Maschinen und Kreaturen. Mad God ist ein<\/span> k\u00f6rperliche Erfahrung des Wahnsinn, Bild f\u00fcr Bild aufgebaut mit obsessiver Detailverliebtheit. Wir zeigen ihn in unserer Sektion Abseits:Dystopia, weil er den reinen Kollaps verk\u00f6rpert \u2013 von Welten, K\u00f6rpern und dem Verstand selbst. Tippetts Albtraum erz\u00e4hlt nicht nur vom Ende der Zivilisation, sondern von dem, was lange danach weiterfault. Ein Meisterwerk des animierten Verfalls.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
