[Frameworks] animals and human-animal relationships on film

[Andy Ditzler]

Horse (Andy Warhol) uses the mere presence of a horse (along with costumes
and other elements, but primarily the horse) to visually denote the film's
status as a Western - possibly a distancing tactic in the way you suggest,
since inter-human violence (instigated from offscreen) certainly is a
subject of the film, and there is a definite animal-human interaction as
well.

Lucien Taylor's and Verena Paravel's recent film Leviathan is an immersive
record of the activity (animal and human) on and around a fishing vessel at
sea.
