Vermont Film & Folklore Festival: Animal Instincts (Shorts) + Q&A
May 16 @ 6:00pm-8:00pm
This event will screen three animal-centric short films, followed by a Q&A session.
Featuring:
Beyond the Herd
Interweaving the rhythms of daily life on the ranch and wild horses on the range, “Beyond the Herd” tells the story of Mexican-American equestrians Amber and Isidro. Their kinship with mustangs echoes their own experiences with discrimination and ‘otherness.’ As resources dwindle for wild horses, their bond becomes a symbol of resilience, transforming once-wild mustangs into lifelong companions.
