The Hunt
Poland2018animated9'Konkurs polski (2019)
A young boy spends his holidays in a small town recording the sounds of nature around him: the twitter of birds, the chirping of crickets or the buzzing of flies. He also spends his time shooting animals he accidentally encounters with a bow. Gradually, hunting fascinates him more and more and his arrowheads become increasingly sharper. Despite the idyllic landscape of meadows and forests, the tension is consistently growing. In this disturbing animation, brutality is contrasted with religiousness, fun with the feeling of guilt, and the beauty and peace of nature with human aggression.
