Interview with Teresa Castro

Associate Professor in Film Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle in Paris, author of La pensée cartographique des images. Cinéma et culture visuelle (Aléas, 2011) and co-editor of Puissances du végétal et cinéma animiste (Les Presses du Réel, 2020), Teresa Castro discusses in this interview the tradition of time-lapse films dealing with the life of flowers and plants: a tradition of mediated plants, in which the non-human temporal scales of the vegetal world meet the temporalities of the film apparatus and of human perception.
