WOLF MOON takes us deep into the night in its exploration of human-animal relations and the shifting power balance between human and animal.WOLF MOON interweaves four loosely connecting storylines: In Japan, a group of night patrollers are searching the city streets for bears, trying to chase them out of town again before morning. In Sweden, tourists armed with torches are hunting for wolves and moose on a guided night safari going through the dark forests. In South Africa, an expert on the Ecology of Fear records fear responses in wildlife, exploring how wild animals fear human voices more than any other sound in the world. The film’s fourth layer involves a group of actors exploring how to implement the characteristics of bears and wolves during rehearsals, and in the process coming face to face with the animals they are studying. This part of the film is inspired by Djuna Barnes' Nightwood, a novel continuously blurring the lines between human and animal. There’s a staged, theatrical element transcending the entire film — as humans, we depend on torches to see in the dark, constructing delimited, artificial pockets of light within each nightly frame in the film. In the shadow of global mass extinction and ecosystem collapse, WOLF MOON reflects on the importance of the very existence of animals for human thought and imagination – and our understanding of what it means to be human in an abundant living world.&nbsp; https://robinpetre.com/ONLY-ON-EARTH Wed, 20 Nov 2024 18:20:29 +0000 robinpetre https://robinpetre.com/ONLY-ON-EARTH ONLY ON EARTH | 2025 | documentary | 93’ |ONLY ON EARTH takes us on an immersive and visually striking journey into Southern Galicia, one of Europe’s most vulnerable wildfire zones. During the hottest summer on record, both humans and animals struggle to cope as inextinguishable fires draw closer. Wild horses have roamed the Galician mountains for centuries, playing a crucial role in fire prevention by curbing flammable undergrowth – but their numbers are dwindling as human development clashes with nature. Through the eyes of the horses, a young cowboy, a seasoned fire analyst, a devoted equine vet, and a farming family on the frontlines, the film reflects on the fragile balance of our natural world and human-animal relations. written &amp; directed by&nbsp;Robin Petré director of photography&nbsp;María Goya Barquet editor&nbsp;Charlotte Munch Bengtsencomposer&nbsp;Roger Goula sound designer&nbsp;Thomas Perez-Papeproducers&nbsp;Signe Skov Thomsen, Malene Flindt Pedersen, Carles Brugueras, Marieke van den Bersselaarco-produced by&nbsp;HBO with support from the Danish Film Institute, the Swedish Film Institute, and the Sandbox Fund. &nbsp; WORLD PREMIERE&nbsp;Berlin International Film Festival (2025) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; SELECTED SCREENINGS &amp; AWARDS&nbsp;Nominated for the Berlinale Documentary Award; Best Sound Design, IDA Awards; Best Nordic Documentary, Nordisk Panorama Film Festival; Nominated for the Grierson Award, BFI London Film Festival; Best Cinematography Award, and Special Mention for the Green Warsaw Award, Millennium Docs Against Gravity; Best Documentary Feature Film, Canary Islands International Environmental Film Festival FICMEC; Nominated for the Golden Gate Award for Best Documentary, San Francisco International Film Festival SFIFF; Nominated for The Sustainable Future Award, Sydney Film Festival; CPH:DOX; DOK.fest München; Nominated for the Socio-Environmental Award,&nbsp; Guadalajara International Film Festival FICG; Nominated for Best Documentary, Bergen International Film Festival; Nominated for Best Documentary, Crossing Europe Film FestivalDEVELOPMENT AWARDS&nbsp;Cannes Marché du Film Docs-in-Progress Award 2024; Eurimages Co-Production Development Award, CPH:FORUM 2023&nbsp; <img width="4096" height="1716" width_o="4096" height_o="1716" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/67e0cc87840253465cfd7c2fc4b0c5fd284dd4ec9562c7787581f00ec2f7e8a4/Still-2025-01-10-102457_1.1.4.jpg" data-mid="253682605" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/67e0cc87840253465cfd7c2fc4b0c5fd284dd4ec9562c7787581f00ec2f7e8a4/Still-2025-01-10-102457_1.1.4.jpg" /> <img width="4096" height="1716" width_o="4096" height_o="1716" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d736bf251e68bf3e9fddedf15e4452b507c579b42107f63fa77c4feb69c2bdca/Still-2025-01-10-102930_1.1.6.jpg" data-mid="253682604" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d736bf251e68bf3e9fddedf15e4452b507c579b42107f63fa77c4feb69c2bdca/Still-2025-01-10-102930_1.1.6.jpg" /> “That rare film which offers a roadmap to our survival but also finds a way to burrow itself deep into the crevices of our subconscious, changing the way we do things in our daily lives” &nbsp; &nbsp; —International Cinephile Society“With its deeply personal approach, breathtaking cinematography, and quietly urgent message, this film refuses to be ignored.” &nbsp; &nbsp; —Overly Honest Reviews <img width="1000" height="1428" width_o="1000" height_o="1428" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/aeb19dc3bb153022162e69c8c409f07eb348de59ee39b075c021acafe682d81c/OOE_B1_1000.jpg" data-mid="253682603" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/aeb19dc3bb153022162e69c8c409f07eb348de59ee39b075c021acafe682d81c/OOE_B1_1000.jpg" /> https://robinpetre.com/FROM-THE-WILD-SEA Wed, 20 Nov 2024 11:15:39 +0000 robinpetre https://robinpetre.com/FROM-THE-WILD-SEA FROM THE WILD SEA | 2021 | documentary | 78’ | FROM THE WILD SEA dives into the complex collision between human and nature. We are taken on a disturbing and fascinating journey into the emerging Anthropocene Era, seen from both the human and animal perspective. As humans attempt to rescue marine creatures, each individual animal looks back at us with inquisitive eyes. Through an intimate visual experience that follows the animals through rehabilitation, we get to see and sense the world we humans have created: Right before our eyes, an estranged and most curious place.
