'Humans', short film, 9'53'', 2018 - teaser
.
Synopsis
A keen observation of animals in captivity turns into a deeper reflection about what it is to be human.
_
Director's Note
The project stemmed from the desire to interact, observe and record with my camera animals in captivity, in the places where they are usually found, such as zoos and aquariums, but also amusement parks filled with their depictions. The narrative emerged through the process of observation and is about the experience of the condition itself: Humans and animals interact within their confined space. Through editing I wanted to create a flowing ritual, at the end of which the viewer will see the imagery as a reflection of their human nature and, through sensation rather than cognition, realize that animals and humans form an organic whole.
