Der Molchkongress (Filmstill), Immanuel Esser, Matthias Sahli, Zürcher Hochschule der Künste, Matthias Sahli

The newly discovered talking giant salamanders have been exploited by humans for years as labour and laboratory animals. The Newt Congress takes place in a conference building surrounded by nature. It’s where congress participants have come together to discuss the exploitation of the animals. The short film is a free adaptation of Karel Čapek's "War with the Newts".
