Watch Zoo Lock Down

What is a zoo if there are no people to witness the animals? Austrian filmmaker Andreas Horvath (HELMUT BERGER, ACTOR) surveys the early days of the pandemic through the surreal perspective of the bears, foxes, lemurs, flamingos, lions, rhinos, and piranha at the Salzburg Zoo. These micro-stories from the pavilions, enclosures and terraria reflect Horvath's eccentric sense of humor through surprising edits, a playful sound design, and a score that alternates between whimsical and suspenseful.

Zoo Lock Down is a 2023 documentary with a runtime of 1 hour and 15 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.7.
