Beastlines

Australia, 2011, 4 mins

DIRECTOR: Deborah Kelly

Beastliness witnesses horizonless, post-species-specific possibilities, as we tango into the far fetched future, propelled by unchecked hungers. Human physicality is entirely transformed by the technologies of everyday life. Miraculous conceptions are ordinary, death is deferred, biology is no longer destiny. Gender imperatives mate, proliferate and mutate.
