Description
Summary:This film offers an intimate portrait of a fourth-generation dairy farm, observing the peculiar existence shared between man and cow. Set on the edge of the Bowland Fells in north Lancashire and filmed over a period of 5 weeks on a small dairy in North Lancashire, Strange Beasts follows in great detail the process whereby artisan cheese is produced from a small herd of Holstein-Friesan cows. Shot in an observational style with a richly mixed soundtrack of natural sounds, the camera is a quiet witness as the milking parlour bustles with a sea of cows, the landscape hums with the sound of electric wire, and a calf is pulled into existence with the tug of a rope.
