Interview

Content Warning: This film contains graphic footage of animal slaughter and blood that some viewers may find distressing.

Created for the documentary A Taste of Whale, this interview sequence was designed to visually reflect the film's central conflict.

Set against a calm lakeside location in Zurich, the cinematography contrasts two distinct emotional worlds: the cold, misty landscape outside and the warm, intimate atmosphere inside a wooden cabin. This deliberate visual contrast mirrors the film's exploration of one of the world's most controversial traditions—the annual pilot whale hunt in the Faroe Islands—and the complex ethical questions surrounding it.
