Animal Attraction

"A documentary on telepathic animal communication."

ANIMAL ATTRACTION examines the relationship between people and animals, questioning the way we project ourselves onto our pets, imbuing their gestures with human qualities and attributes. Looking at the paranormal phenomenon of telepathic communication, this video investigates the social group of New Agers who are involved in working with animals. Following an interspecies telepathic communicator, Dawn Hayman from Spring Farm CARES, an animal sanctuary in upstate New York, the filmmaker uses herself as a protagonist to look at this complex examination of our relationship to “nature,” and develops a particular empathy for the animals in the end.
