Neither Fish Nor Fowl

Partner: Filmfest Dresden

In 2018, a Polish cow escaped en route to the slaughterhouse, swam to a nearby island, and unexpectedly disrupted the town’s established dynamics—soon becoming a minor media sensation. This film revisits the event, probing the narratives we construct about the countryside & other beings.
