“What does the animal see when it looks at me?” Three animals and a woman coexist in an enclosed space. As they study each other, their own methods of communication create a wordless conversation. We view them in close-up and from various perspectives, with the woman as a solitary species in this universe. A huge hit at Short Focus Film Festival 2020, winning the Jury Prize, ‘The Animal That Therefore I Am’ is an experimental and existential work that interrogates our own perceptions of humanity by displacing our gaze with that of the animal, revealing the true vulnerability of our species and the fragility of the evolutionary framework.

Watch ‘The Animal That Therefore I Am’ exclusively, along with many more wonderful short films on FLTV.
