The films I chose to integrate tend to adopt non-anthropomorphic views of nature or turn non-human elements into main characters. Some also oppose certain traditional Hollywoodian approaches to the non-human.
By proposing this unfamiliar view of the Earth, movies challenge scientifically objective or human-centered storytelling, teaching its viewer how to see, touch, and feel their environment.
This induces a critical thinking on the ways the environment is shown to us, which can help to break the established nature-culture divide.
I hope that while exploring this section, you’ll find ways to critically interpret perspectives in film as to rearrange your own.
