A film from and about rural Europe, KAMPF DER KÖNIGINNEN [BATTLE OF THE QUEENS] captures a timeless cultural event: a series of head-to-head fights of cows (not bulls) set in a valley nestled amongst the Alps. The fights are sudden snorting seesaws, explosions of mass and muscle, archaic and wild spectacles. We follow three concurrent story lines: an anxious farmer with his beloved contender, a neurotic unemployed reporter from Zurich coming to find a story, and a gang of adolescent boys on mopeds trying to catch a pretty girl’s eye.

The film is a balancing act between fascinating tradition and modernity. This black and white film serves as both an exciting visual treat and a long overdue documentation of an intriguing Swiss tradition.
