Of Animals and Men
The key aim of every ZOO is to protect animal species from extinction. In times of war, the most endangered species was the man. Under the Nazis' noses, about 300 people, mainly Jews, found shelter at the Warsaw Zoo during the Second World War. With the help of reenacted scenes with animals, interviews with the survivors, and archive footage, we are going to revive the surreal atmosphere of those events.

What is reality? Who holds the key to truth-humans or our own technological creations? Wojciech Bruszewski, a rebellious force in the realm of cinema, a pioneer in the global video art movement, a relentless researcher, and an intrepid art experimenter, embarks on a journey beyond conventional boundaries to explore cognition and pioneer breakthroughs in language, sound, imagery, and cutting-edge technologies.
