Synopsis
In Karrantza Valley, Bizkaia, the black head Carranza sheep play a central role in local subsistence farming. The film consists of seven in-camera edited Super-8 reels that connect the processes of grazing, feeding, and wool production. It also covers milking and cheese-making, illustrating the relationship between these activities. The project references early cinema, specifically the Lumière Brothers' 1896 film MOUTONS ENTRANT À L’ABATTOIR, linking the rhythm of wool spinning to the pace of film.
