The Cormorant Scarecrow (Plašitelj kormorana) is a Croatian documentary film directed by Branko Ištvančić. It was released in 1998.

The film has received a number of awards and is seen by many as the best Croatian documentary of the 1990s.[2]

Synopsis

The film depicts the daily lives of people whose job is to chase away cormorants that eat fish from a fish farm near Donji Miholjac, Croatia. Cormorants are protected by law and their nesting grounds are located across the border, in Hungary, which gives the protagonists' efforts a Sisyphean, absurdist feel.[3]
