Milking

No ratings yet

On a Danish dairy farm shaped by automation and data, cows move through feeding systems and milking robots that register, clean, and extract milk without human touch. Milking follows the rhythms of a herd within a technological environment where animals, machines, and humans continuously shape each other. There is no voiceover, no interviews and no explanatory text. Instead, the film stays with the rhythm of the milking robot, the noise of the herd and a cleaning cycle starting up in the background. The barn is never quiet, something is always produced, even at night, as bodies are tracked, measured and optimised within the system.
