About the film and the filmmakers:

What can you tell about this film? Using the collection of glass negatives of the Martin-
Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg Zwier is not only showing the results of the animal breeding
programme in the 1930's but also reflecting on (wo)man's relationship with the animal world.

How does this film relate to the theme ‘politics and poetry’ in your opinion? The film is a
short poem because of its rhythm but forces at the same time the spectator to reflect on society
and its relationship with nature.

Are politics and poetry (or politics and arts) two separate worlds according to you? Why / why
not?
They are and are not, depending on the cerative artist.
