The Material Gaze: Horizontalising the Anthropos through Film
My project posits that in the last 20-30 years, as a reaction to the climate crisis, certain filmmakers have developed and employed cinematic practices that have sought to align the spectator not with the human but with the nonhuman. I aim to explore how these practices have served to construct such a spectatorship, positioning such an endeavour as both a resistance to, and a reconfiguration of, the human-nonhuman divide.
