- Overview
- Elephants' Test is a test, an experiment performed to elephants. It is also a cinematic appropriation, a manipulated found footage, bleach faded and scratched. Two tests in one: the first one was carried out by a French expedition in the African jungle to discover the behavior of a herd of elephants, the second one was self-made from super 8 documentary material.
