Winner of the 2022 Cannes Prize du Jury, EO brings longtime collaborators Jerzy Skolimowski and Jeremy Thomas back together, following in the footsteps of “The Shout” which won the Grand Prix du Jury in 1978. Since then, they have collaborated on “Essential Killing”, which won the Special Jury Prize and the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival, and “11 Minutes” which also screened in Competition at Venice.

EO, a grey donkey with melancholic eyes and a curious spirit, begins his life as a circus performer before escaping on a trek across the Polish and Italian countryside in a journey marked by absurdity and warmth in equal measure. Legendary filmmaker Jerzy Skolimowski directs one of his most free and visually inventive films yet, placing the viewer directly in the heart and mind of the four-legged protagonist.
