Zoo

Zoo captures the similarities between humans and animals through a clever and humorous montage. Filmed at the Artis Amsterdam Zoo, it provides a glimpse into the interactions between humans and apes without the influence of narration. Instead, the visuals speak for themselves, creating a poetic experience that highlights the inherent connections between species.

The film runs for just 10 minutes, making it a concise yet impactful exploration of animal behavior and human interaction. The absence of commentary invites viewers to reflect on the imagery, while the ironic music by Pim Jacobs adds a layer of depth to the viewing experience. This documentary stands out for its unique approach and artistic vision, characteristic of Haanstra's work.
