28th Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival
The Language of Animals
synopsis
In the heyday of space travel, the problem of understanding the languages of other creatures became a more universal topic. The director sought the answer to the question as to whether or not we are capable of deciphering the language system of another civilization by researching the communications of the oldest inhabitants of our planet. We observe the ritualized expressions of the basic instincts of ants, bees, fish and birds up close in both natural conditions and staged laboratory experiments. Sobolev’s unique (for the time) footage of the animal kingdom earned him fame at home and abroad.more about film
