SYNOPSIS 'Can you smell that?' The camera goes deep into the forests of Galicia and Portugal, among the whispers, tracking images and absences of Iberian wolves. This film essay navigates a relational history, laden with submission and extermination, and confronts an audiovisual history made of images-simulacrum of the natural wild. Salvaxe, salvaxe is a nature anti-documentary: wolves look back at the camera, terrified, and humans howl. All of us creatures leave traces in this careful dance of the tracked trackers.

Emilio Fonseca The filmmaker explores the humans-nonhumans relationships in the pursuit of interspecies justice, the similarities and encounters between communities of different species that coexist on the planet. Screenwriter, director, illustrator, animator, and educator in the field of visual arts, co-founded Walkie Talkie Films in 2008, working with documentary and experimental languages. Author of essays on the Anthropocene, simulation, and delirium entitled We Are Plague and I Am Wall (from the series I Am Camera by CCCB); the book Images: A Public Domain (VVAA, CCCB, 2020); and the TV works Burning the Wildlands and Tallers Sonors. He has participated in the art and international cooperation project Chaco Ra'anga and he is creating a documentary comic about ecosocial conflicts entitled Verde Invisible in 2024, both by AECID.
