Documentary Film Ponders the Inner Lives of Animals
Filmmaker Michel Negroponte will be at the Norfolk Library on Saturday, April 13, to
introduce his documentary film “Herd” (2023). A herd of shaggy Belted Galloway cattle
is delivered to a neighboring pasture in the Catskills and instantly inspires a new film.
The filmmaker’s growing fascination with the cows leads him to reflect on the modern
idea of animal personhood. Following the screening, documentarian Mark Erder of
Norfolk will lead an audience Q&A with the director.
