An exploration of cinematic methods for staging intersubjective encounters between human and non-human animal worlds

这个研究项目调查了实验性电影制作技术如何破坏传统野生动物电影的人文主义取向，以支持人类和非人类动物之间更多的“横向”接触。我的目标是提出电影表现动物知识（及其局限性）的替代方法，拒绝与“硬”科学经常联系在一起的脱离实体和客观化的观点。这个项目将涉及理论和实践方法，产生一个书面输出和两个短片，提出探索动物存在模式和（重新）定位人类观众的电影方法，使其陷入比人类更深的世界。

This research project investigates the ways in which experimental filmmaking techniques can disrupt the humanist orientation of traditional wildlife film in favour of staging more 'horizontal' encounters between human and non-human animals. My aim is to propose alternative ways of cinematically representing knowledge about animals (and its limits) that refuse the disembodied and objectifying perspective often associated with the 'hard' sciences. This project will involve both theoretical and practical methods, resulting in a written output and two short films that propose cinematic methods for exploring animal modes of being and (re)positioning the human viewer as enmeshed within more-than-human worlds.
