Lobsteropolis
Directed by James DeLisio (2025)
The California Spiny Lobster does not have claws, leaving it especially vulnerable to exploitation. From commercial fishing vessels to natural history archives, "Lobsteropolis" silently observes a series of encounters between the California Spiny Lobster and the industries of San Diego, California.
When we turn away from human narratives, how do we see the world? These films position us as part of the fauna around us, challenging our preconceived notions of importance, slowing us down, and zooming us in. Combining both animation and documentary formats, this programme is an experiment in thought and a call to alter our perspectives. - Slow Film Festival, "Overlooked // Unseen"
