 "Out of sight, by the forest" is a poignant documentary exposing the brutal reality of Polish fur farms. With extraordinary sensitivity, the filmmakers present the story of three activists - Aleks, Angelika and Bogna - who for years have tirelessly documented the suffering of animals raised for fur. Their heroic struggle against the powerful fur lobby and heartless bureaucracy creates a narrative full of tension and moral challenges.  Director Nadina Dobrowolska Nadina is a graduate of the Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School in Katowice, majoring in Organisation of Film and Television Production. Dobrowolska is a long-time pro-animal activist. In her debut documentary film "Out of sight, by the forest", she asks the audience what place animals have in contemporary society. For her first feature-length film, she drew inspiration from the documentary output of Werner Herzog and Wim Wenders. https://pozawidokiem.pl/en
The film chronicles the unseen actions of the investigators, who have spent a decade exposing the scale of injustice against animals. Together with the activists, we look into the dark recesses of the farms, where foxes, mink and raccoons suffer in cramped cages. The documentary is non-violent, but its minimalist approach to portraying suffering heightens the dramatic overtones, forcing the viewer to reflect on consumer choices and animal rights. The camera accompanies the activists in their daily struggles, doing justice to their sacrifice and determination. The film avoids easy moralising, instead raising questions about the limits of human responsibility and ethics. "Out of sight, by the forest" is a call for greater awareness and empathy towards beings who cannot fight for their rights on their own. Nadina Dobrowolska's debut film thus becomes not only an indictment, but also an inspiration for action. |
