The Newt Congress

Directed by Matthias Sahli and Immanuel Esser

With Ursula Bienz, Tobias Bienz, Wiebke Mollenhauer, Linda Gunst and Peter Hottinger

For years now, giant talking newts have been used both for their labor and as laboratory animals. The Newt Congress takes place at a conference building surrounded by nature where participants have come together to optimize the exploitation of the animals. The short film is a free adaptation of Karel Čapek‘s War with the Newts.
