Germany / Austria. 2005. 92 minutes. No dialogue. DOCUMENTARY.
Director: Nikolaus Geyrhalter

In this MUST SEE documentary, there is no dialogue, no commentary. Only the uncanny sounds accompanying the precisely timed movements of laborers working in vast agricultural expanses in concert with the humming engines of tractors. The mooing cattle, the grunting pigs, the cheeping chickens, all being led in a “disciplined” manner to the slaughterhouse, create a terrifying concert.

See if you can bear to watch these cruel facts of life and death (carried out in a “sterile” and “super clean” environment) without letting escape a cry of horror.

WARNING: disturbing images.

All movie screenings are private, noncommercial events restricted to FCCJ members and their guests.
