Institute History
Description
Inspired by the literary concept of the unreliable narrator and the motif of the medieval bestiary, which gave every living thing a spiritual purpose, Deke Weaver’s lifelong project, The Unreliable Bestiary, is an ark of splendidly told stories about animals, our relationship to them, and the worlds they inhabit. ELEPHANT, the second chapter of the project, examines this endangered animal and its habitat. From burial rituals to subtle interpersonal communications to post-traumatic stress, Weaver offers striking insights into the remarkable similarities that unite elephant and human societies.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
