Here is the New Jersey Film Festival Fall 2024 Video Filmmaker Q+A with The Horse Tail Director
Justyna Łuczaj-Salej and Festival Director Al Nigrin:

The Horse Tail - Justyna Łuczaj-Salej (Krosno, Poland)

At the foot of a cliff, between a rubbish dump, barns and a forest, there is a place where people form incestuous relationships and hold painful secrets. The Horse Tail is a junk version of the myth of Oedipus. Diana the aging prostitute comes back to her small hometown. She has a faulty memory and Maj an orphan outcast suspects that she is his mother. When they meet Diana treats him as if he was a client. The atmosphere gets much tenser when Maj becomes friends with a policeman’s daughter. Their relationship, based on their particular sensitivity and their opposition to the rotten world they live in, does not stand a chance of surviving. While they are playing in a river, a horse’s tail twines around their bodies. Maj knows that it is a bad sign. In Polish, subtitled. 2023; 75 min.

The Horse Tail screens at the Fall 2024 New Jersey Film Festival on Sunday, September 22. The film will be Online for 24 Hours on this date. Tickets are available for purchase here.
