PIGS (2006)

PIGS is an immersion in the everyday moment-by-moment existence
of our close relative. The viewer will have a chance to become
intimate with the trials and tribulations, joys and terrors, that
constitute a pig’s life. Much of the camera work is at a
close range, so one gets to sense the almost palpable presence
of those wonderful, magical animals. At the same time the pig
farm can be conceived of as a stand-in for our own human society.
In this case, the farm is Bob Combs’ RC Farm, located in
Las Vegas, Nevada. The pigs on the farm are treated humanely.
They are provided with ample space, good facilities, and leftover
food from the buffets and casinos. Under those conditions pigs
can truly revel in their nature.
PIGS is available for viewing during the
day and early evening
by appointment only through Octboer, 2006.
PIGS will be followed by a screening of
Babe
at 10:30pm.
