Ammazzalupi

Overview

Ammazzalupi is a 3 minute short film inspired by the DDL Montagna, a law nicknamed “Ammazzalupi” (wolfkiller) for authorising the hunting of wolves, a species once close to extinction and now treated as a threat. A robotic voice reads excerpts from the law while images from phototraps, CCTV and Red Dead Redemption 2 overlap, turning wolves into suspects trapped in a system of constant surveillance. This gaze of control extends beyond nature, reaching the human-tech world, revealing a cycle of fear and dehumanisation. In the forest’s darkness, an eye opens: the gaze returns to the tree, leaving open the question of who is truly watching whom.
