State of Dogs

Back to listing

Winning Visions du Réel Grand Prize at Nyon in 1998, State of Dogs is the distillation of several years of work in Mongolia by the Belgian Peter Brosens and is a testament to his love of the country. Filmed with a local co-director and team, this parable is an acerbic and poetic invitation to wonder between two worlds: a stray dog refuses to reincarnate as a man, in accordance with Mongolian beliefs.
