DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

His documentaries persistently examine humanity's relationship with animals and nature, questioning human dominance through films like 'Grizzly Man' and 'My Best Fiend.'

 Agnès Varda France

Her films demonstrate profound empathy for all living beings, with 'The Gleaners and I' and 'Vagabond' exploring vulnerability and marginalisation including animal perspectives.

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

His animated works consistently celebrate non-human life and critique human exploitation of nature, as seen in 'Princess Mononoke' and 'Spirited Away' where animals possess agency and dignity.
