Zoo Lock Down

About This Movie

Zoo Lock Down is a fascinating dive into the quieter side of zoo life during the pandemic. While humans were stuck indoors, the animals continued their routines, unbothered by the external chaos. The film captures microstories that illustrate the peculiar stillness of their environment, with a tone that feels both contemplative and oddly serene. The pacing is relaxed, allowing us to linger on the moments that define animal behavior—each enclosure tells its own story. It's not flashy, but there's an understated beauty in how the camera captures the animals in their element. Horvath’s narration adds a layer of warmth, giving voice to these creatures in a way that feels intimate. Not your typical documentary fare, it’s an observation of life that really makes you think about our connection to nature.
