Drawing on cutting-edge developments in Animal (film) studies, the book gathers a wide range of species and genres to discuss the Greek cinematic animal. This en-tails recalibrating the readers \/viewers gazes to include particular nonhumans, often displaced in the frame s margins. While acknowledging the cost paid in animal suffering for Greek cinema to rise, the book features instances of animal-human bonding. Combining close readings with interviews with directors, human actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, producers, special effects artists, and animal wranglers, this book proposes a paradigm of human-animal praxis, arguing that revisiting nonhuman images can lead to renewed ethical relations, and to less speciesist cinemas, film industries, and societies..\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Introduction.- Chapter 2: Towards a nonhuman account of Greek cinema.- Chapter 3: One or several wolf men, little foxes and young Aphrodites.- Chapter 4: Furry-tales: narratives of therianthropy and queerness; the cases of Panos Koutras and Elina Psykou.- Chapter 5: Birds of a feather.- Chapter 6: Dying like dogs.- Chapter 7: All creatures great and small: Dimos Avdeliodis's theistic posthumanism.- Chapter 8 : Shooting animality: Menelaos Karamaghiolis's cinema of transspecies poetics.- PART II: The Animal People.- Chapter 9 : Small lives.- Chapter 10: Dressing animals; or: the calculated banality of nonhuman film logistics.- Chapter 11: Olga Malea's malleable animals.- Chapter 12: Getting their goats.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNikitas Fessas\u003c\/strong\u003e owns a no-kill farm in Crete.
