INTELLIGENT ANIMALS (filming)

Can animals talk? Current research suggests that animals can communicate with each other and with us in a much more complex way than has been widely assumed. In addition, there are studies that suggest that many species have emotional lives very similar to humans. 

In a documentary feature-length film, we want to investigate this matter and find out how certain animal species communicate, make friends, and learn to solve complex tasks.

The aim of the film is to further clarify to what extent animals have a „Theory of Mind“ and have an independent "personality". We also want to discuss what consequences these findings could have for the way we treat them.
