WILD, WILD

by Emilio Fonseca

synopsis

'Can you smell that?' As the camera goes deep into the forester of Galicia and the north of Portugal among whispers, we realize we need to sharpen our senses to weave the signs left by wildlife. Wild, Wild tracks images and absences of Iberian wolves, as it navigates a relational history, laden with folk mythology, submission, and extermination, and confronts an audiovisual history made of images-simulacrum of the natural wild. This film essay is a nature anti-documentary: it features wolves that look back at the camera, terrified, and humans that can howl. All of us creatures leave traces in this careful dance of tracked trackers. A subtle exploration of human-nonhuman relationships in the pursuit of interspecies justice, stressing the similarities and encounters between communities of different species that coexist on the planet: in other words, a necessary view in the realm of the Anthropocene.
