An animated music video for Laibach's song 'Moral Support' that traces the first decades of the 20th century through artistic movements.
Picked by Margot
The scouts
A Laibach music video that actually *earns* its pretension by refusing irony—it commits to the bit so hard it loops back into genuine formal inquiry, which is either brilliant subversion or the most accidentally sincere thing I've seen all year.
Jevremovic situates the work squarely in the lineage of avant-garde animation paired with industrial/post-punk sound design, and the precision with which each artistic movement is visualized suggests a director fluent in both animation history and 20th-century cultural taxonomy.
The film's singular achievement is the decision to let the *transitions between movements* do the conceptual heavy lifting rather than literal illustration—each cut and morphic moment carries the argument, which means a modest animation budget suddenly feels like a constraint that clarified the entire vision.
