| Özet: | This essay examines a corpus of award-winning nature films associated with French actor-director-producer Jacques Perrin: Microcosmos: le peuple de l’herbe/Microcosmos (Claude Nuridsany & Marie Pérennou, 1996), Le Peuple migrateur/Winged Migration (Perrin, Jacques Cluzaud & Michel Debats, 2001), Océans/Oceans (Perrin & Cluzaud, 2009), and Les Saisons/Seasons (Perrin, Cluzaud & Alexandre Poulichot, 2015). These films present a wide array of spatio-temporal scales, playing with both scale and perspective. Using human-scale anchor points as a means of engaging the non-human, Perrin situates the human spectator as a means of exhorting an ethical engagement with our global environment, particularly in the face of contemporary climate change. |
