“Brutus” continues the concept of "Witnesses" trilogy[5] and tells us story of the Holocaust through the eyes of a German Shepherd dog Brutus. The Nuremberg Laws have separated the dog with his favorite mistress, Jewish woman. In the process of training and taming Brutus becomes a concentration camp beast-killer. The film is based on a novel of a Czech writer Ludvik Ashkenazy.[6][7]
Filmmakers from Russia, Romania,[8][9] Israel, the United States, Moldova, Belarus and the Czech Republic participated in the production.[10]
The film was created with the financial support of the Ministry for Culture of Russia, as well as private philanthropists.
The crew used a variety of filming techniques. The main aim was to show the events through the dog's eyes.
-Our film will be tough, but entirely pacifist in nature. My task is to make the viewer see things from the dog’s point of view, to show how quickly somebody can be brainwashed and turn into a monster
Film premiered at the Moscow International Film Festival in June 2016.[12]
