CATTLE CALL Cattle Call

Cattle Call is a high-speed animated documentary about the North American art of livestock auctioneering. Structured around the mesmerizing verbal talents of master auctioneer Tim Dowler, and using a variety of classic and avant-garde animation techniques (including stop-motion, cut-outs, open exposures, hole-punching and rubbing lettraset directly onto the celluloid) filmmakers Rankin and Maryniuk have tried to create images as dazzingly abstract, absurd and adrenalizing as the incredible language of auctioneering itself.
