WHEN PIGS FLY
by Denise Riedmayr (DE 2026)
Is the pig simply livestock — or something to love? And if pig hearts may soon be transplanted into humans, what new ethical questions arise? Set between university laboratories and animal sanctuaries, WHEN PIGS FLY explores the blurred boundaries between species with curiosity, sensitivity and surprising discoveries.
The kinokino Audience Award is endowed with €2,000 and donated by & and DOK.fest München. After each screening at DOK.fest München 2026, audiences were invited to rate the films via QR code voting.
