DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Werner Herzog Germany

 Hayao Miyazaki Japan

His animated works deeply explore animal agency and environmental ethics, with films like 'Princess Mononoke' and 'Spirited Away' presenting animals as sentient beings with inherent rights and dignity.

 Agnès Varda France

Her documentary and narrative films compassionately examine vulnerability and marginalization, extending ethical concern to animals through works like 'Vagabond' and 'The Beaches of Agnès' which blur boundaries between human and animal suffering.
