Sheep Reels 1-7

A film about the black head Carranza sheep and the ways of subsistence cattle related to them in Karrantza Valley (Bizkaia, Spain). A series of seven in-camera edited Super-8 reels explores the link between grass, sheep, feeding, wool, milking, cheese, threads. It is a project that began with the recalling of first moving pictures of sheep (MOUTONS ENTRANT À L’ABATTOIR, Lumière Brothers, 1896) and with the correlation between wool spinning and the film rolling pace.
