At a time when so many are trying to erase our communities, these filmmakers are making sure our stories are forever stamped into history. By living boldly and authentically, we leave an imprint that ripples through generations. This block is proof that we were here and we always will be.

Two queer drag creatures—a cow from the Alps and a panther from the Amazon—set out on a journey through a world shaped by monocultures, cattle farming, and colonial violence, traveling from burnt forests to melting glaciers. Along the way, they move between ritual, protest, and unexpected encounters. De-Domestication is a poetic and political road movie, following the pop cow and the sacred jaguar as they celebrate transformation, freedom, and the power of rewilded imagination.
