interspecies coexistence

His documentaries and films obsessively explore humanity's relationship with nature and animals, examining coexistence through encounters with grizzly bears, penguins, and cave paintings.

His animated works consistently depict interspecies relationships as central narratives, from spirits and creatures in 'Princess Mononoke' to the fantastical beings in 'Spirited Away'.

His science fiction films like 'Arrival' and 'Blade Runner 2049' deeply interrogate communication and coexistence between humans and non-human intelligences.
