A film called Hen, directed by György Pálfi, has been chosen by a company called Dekanalog to be shown in the United States.

It stars real chickens and human actors.
The film will first be shown at a festival in Palm Springs in January and then in theaters, on video-on-demand, and in physical formats.
The company that is bringing the film to the US really likes the director's work and thinks the story is special and exciting.
Dekanalog has acquired US rights to György Pálfi's film Hen, a tragicomic thriller told from a hen's perspective.
The film will premiere in the US at the Palm Springs International Film Festival in January, followed by theatrical, VOD, and physical releases.
Hen stars Yannis Kokiasmenos, Maria Diakopanayotou, Argyris Pandazaras, and eight Leghorn chickens in the lead role.
