Hanne Tyrmi,
Horses Die Standing, 2022

Horses Die Standing (2022) by Hanne Tyrmi presents a singular cinematic meditation on endurance, labor, and the fragile boundary between strength and exhaustion. Through a slow and attentive visual language, the film explores the bodies of horses—animals historically associated with power, work, and discipline—while reflecting on the cultural and symbolic meanings attached to them. Rather than presenting a conventional narrative, Tyrmi constructs an atmospheric sequence of images and sounds that observe the animal as both living presence and historical figure.
