Grasshopper Republic
Daniel McCabe VS 2023 94 min.
Deep in the forests of Uganda, millions of grasshoppers gather to mate. It is a spectacular event of unseen proportions. But they are not alone: a group of young men set up a strange construction with the aim of catching the elusive prey.

Filmed over three seasons, the camera follows two completely different worlds that meet in an ultimate clash. Green critters, which up close seem particularly fascinating, almost alien creatures, who gather in swarms of sometimes devastating proportions. And on the other hand, grasshopper catchers, who like true gold diggers, pour blood, sweat and tears trying to catch their elusive prey. A lurid neon green veil falls across the canopy, luring millions of grasshoppers into an apocalyptic trap.
