Shot in Rinland’s signature attentive style, Collective Monologue documents and explores the circumstances in which animals are cared for across a series of Argentinian zoos and animal rescue centres. Simultaneously moving and thought provoking, Rinland’s film illustrates the complex power of human, animal relations as variously parrots, turtles, anteaters and monkeys receive close, individual care against a backdrop of institutional management and change.
