Virginia Film Festival

Director Victor Kossakovsky documents the lives of farm animals, offering encounters with a mother sow, two ingenious cows, and a one-legged chicken, to challenge society’s common recognition of farm animals solely as passive resources. By following a pig’s gaze, hearing a gentle lowing from nearby cows, or watching a chicken find its wings, Gunda reveals these animals to be capable of emotion, consciousness, and even free will. Entirely wordless, this moving documentary offers immersive natural sound design and stunning black-and-white cinematography to tell its compassionate tale.
