Gunda
GUNDA is experiential cinema in its purest form, masterfully intimately tracing the lives of a mother pig, a flock of chickens, and a herd of cows. Victor Kossakowsky, a master filmmaker, invites the audience to slow down and experience life as his subjects do, viewing it with a magical patience and an otherworldly perspective. He accomplishes this using stark, transcendent black and white cinematography and the ambient soundtrack from the farm. GUNDA challenges us to reflect on the mystique of animal awareness and consider our place in it. Joaquin Phoenix serves as executive producer.
