Wat we niet wisten over koeien (What We Didn’t Know About Cows) is a short mockumentary by film maker Soner Arslan, who graduated from St. Joost School of Art & Design with this film.

“Ten years ago, Ben discovered that his two cows have a special gift. They amplify alien radio signals. After the great discovery, Ben starts a YouTube channel to document his extraordinary research. Soner is a filmmaker stumbling upon one of Ben’s questionable videos. Is he for real? How scientific is his method? Can I trust a conspiracy theorist? Why is he so certain about something that should be big news? What is the purpose of the cows? ‘What we didn’t know about cows’ is a reflection on filmmaking, online media, and myself.”
