JAILBIRD

2025 · 3 min · AI Films, Documentary · Directed by Andrew Salter

Salter puts the camera at a hen's eye level and keeps it there, following a rescued bird into a UK prison where animals are kept as companions for the men serving time. The conceit sounds like a joke for about forty seconds and then stops being one.
