Look into the eyes of a horse and know that you are looking at an intelligent and sensitive animal. If a horse is an animal, what are we?
“Why am I me and why not you?” (voice over ‘No horses on Mars’)

The animal that therefore I am
L’Animal que donc je suis
By Bea de Visser
Distribution: LI-MA

Synopsis
What does an animal see when she looks back at us? Three animals and a woman are in a closed situation in which they have to deal with each other. The camera emphasizes this idea of the animal gaze by filming them intently. As the voiceover narration suggests, the film is premised on the idea that animals observe and judge us. Based on complex thoughts about our relationship with the animal kingdom, the film tackles this huge subject from an oblique angle.

Cinemascoop 2.35, 10"37 minutes, 2019
Dialogue: English and French spoken version (Eng. subt.)
