Publisher's Synopsis
Focusing on a recent wave of international art cinema, 'Animal Worlds' offers a sustained analysis of the relations between cinematic time and animal life. Through an aesthetic of extended duration, films such as 'Bestiaire' (2012), 'The Turin Horse' (2011), and 'A Cow's Life' (2011) attend to animal worlds of sentience and preception, while registering the governing of life through biopolitical regimes.
