Shooting Crows
  • Original Title: Krähen schiessen

In a public park, an army of crows emerges from the mist. A camera films them. A gun is fired. Is this short film a kind of police procedural and a clever avian dissection at the same time?

Shooting Crows. The mystery of the black birds

A park in the fog. Crows flap and caw in the sky. A homeless man sleeps between the trees. A woman disappears. 

Now and then a crow is shot: as a deterrent. The crows rally after every shot. The police gather evidence. What is really going on? Are reality and imagination slowly blurring?
