- Summary:
- "Cinemal is Tessa Laird's passionate inquiry into the ways that films mimic the majesty, mystery, and movements of animals, her field notes from countless hair-raising encounters with films in their natural habitat. Using cinematic animal tropes to encourage readers to rethink what it means to be a human, Laird lures us toward the beastly becomings of film and, ultimately, our own animal natures"-- Provided by publisher.
