Bears in Hot Tubs
Bears in Hot Tubs is a tender, emotionally resonant short film co-created with Maddie Bear and her wild kin, who move through the suburban landscapes of Los Angeles with curiosity, intelligence, and quiet grace. From soaking in backyard tubs to wandering garden paths, these black bears are not intruders; they are neighbors, navigating a world remade by human presence.
Gianna & Anne - Significant Otherness
Anne and her cow Gianna can be described as what philosopher Donna Haraway terms a "companion species." They communicate in their own language and are connected in "significant otherness."
The Leap Beneath
Narrated by Coyote Peterson, this film dives into the hidden world beneath the forest floor. Follow a springtail’s clumsy quest for food through a bustling ecosystem where mites, beetles, and other tiny creatures keep the forest alive.
Tripawds
Every year in San Francisco, there is a gathering of three-legged dogs, also known as tripawds. TRIPAWDS shares the stories of some of these 3-legged canines and their owners.
Risky Routes
Every year, thousands of toads make the arduous journey back to the waters of their birth to reproduce. They have to overcome numerous dangers along the way - from dangerous roads to other obstacles that turn their journey into a fight for survival.
For the Love of Cats
In the small mountain town of Barga, Italy, a group of four filmmakers speak with local cat lovers and immerse themselves in the unique world of street-trotting felines and Gattaras. Experience firsthand the connection between the people of Italy and the furry friends that walk alongside them.
