- 2013 Winner Bill Douglas Award for International Short FilmEnraged Pigs is like nothing we had ever seen before, and a true realization of the short film form. It is striving to take the genre of short film into a new place while still holding on to a narrative, and challenging the borders between fiction and documentary. Enraged Pigs has a special artistic sensibility. It channels the power of its subject, the power of theatre and ritual, and the creative power of the tribe, who take an active part in the creation of the film as well as the ritual. The wild subject and story combined with very precise cinematic skill and storytelling lift the film to a higher level, free of the ethno-exotic. We as viewers are with the women of the tribe, representing female energy, eye to eye. We are not observers. We experience the women's presence and are engaged in a mesmerizing journey, where from moment to moment we feel a sense of risk, unable to predict the next move or next frame.Shared with: Isabel Penoni
