Hare Hunt

Miro Bernat / Czechoslovakia / 1960 / The film already had its Czech Premiere / 20 min.


synopsis

Some creatures are born with wings, others live behind a fence and long for freedom. Stanislav Neumann's weaving, fairy-tale voice appeals for human compassion in this poetic film made for the Ministry of Agriculture. Millions of eyes of a persecuted nation of hares fight against hounds, bullets and exploitation.

biography
