Synopsys
From a Super 8 reel found at an Athenian flea market, glimpses of a man and a dog hunting in a bucolic landscape come to life. The two compete for pride over their prey: a bird. But what are their limits? Who is the (de)prey and who is the predator?
Da una bobina in Super 8 rinvenuta in un mercatino delle pulci di Atene, prendono vita immagini di un uomo e un cane a caccia in un paesaggio bucolico. I due si contendono il primato sulla preda: un uccello. Ma quali sono i loro limiti? Chi รจ la preda e chi il predatore?

Director's notes
By reworking a found reel, we created an audiovisual reflection on power relations. As the birds fall, the pride of the master and his servant is ridiculed. Hunting is a tradition, but so are the songs in which birds mock men.
