New Showbiz Analysis

RES CREATA serves as a philosophical critique of human exceptionalism rather than a study of human social identities. It achieves depth by challenging the dominance of humankind and promoting a systemic, interconnected worldview. While the film does not focus on specific human-centric identity markers like LGBTQ+ or racial ability to act, it disrupts conventional expectations of human supremacy. Its emphasis on ecological perspectives offers a unique form of cultural representation. Ultimately, the documentary's strength lies in its anti-anthropocentric framework, though it leaves many human social dimensions unexplored.

Official Synopsis

Technological advances and cultural development have disrupted the balance between humankind and other animals. Instead of looking at similarities, we focus on differences. Coexistence has been replaced by dominance. We have forgotten that we live in a house that does not belong only to us. However, the ties between humans and other inhabitants of the animal kingdom have not been irreversibly broken. In his visual essay, which is both intimate and philosophical, Alessandro Cattaneo focuses specifically on those things that connect us. The statements of thinkers and idyllic shots of interspecies interactions indicate that if we change the way in which we think about animals, it will be beneficial for the entire ecosystem.
