How can we know what
nature is, if we interpret
the natural world through
the human narratives we
project onto it?
Through a tendency to anthropomorphize the world around us, humans have over designed nature using story telling and age old narratives that have become deeply embedded in western culture. Interspecies Saga is a fictional documentary examining mythological human-animal relations. Extracting from historical, religious, psychological, and fandom perspectives, the found footage narrates how humans have found ways of internalizing and externalizing the natural world. The movie suggests the need for new subjective interpretations of what nature is, that break with ideological hierarchies that have mostly placed humans outside of or above nature.
