Anima Mundi / Unsere Afrikareise / Hatari!
Nature and wildlife have always offered rich visual material to filmmakers, and this program presents three very different takes on how cinema—and humans—represent and interact with the beauty, adventure, and exoticism of the "wild." Anima Mundi celebrates the wonders of the animal kingdom in a sublime tribute to the WWF's Biological Diversity Campaign. Unsere Afrikareise and Hatari! take us to Africa, and the hunt. Peter Kubelka's extraordinary montage of image and sound draws out the aggression—both explicit and implicit—inherent in the situation he was asked to document: a group of European tourists on safari. In Hatari!, Sean Mercer (Wayne) leads an international group capturing animals for the world's zoos. Hawksian themes of male camaraderie and the comically complicated relations between men and women share the stage with the characters' dangerous and thrilling pursuit of giraffes, wildebeest, and rhinoceri.
