Meeting after the film: Max Kestner (director)
When the story of Marius the giraffe’s death went viral, it sparked filmmaker Max Kestner’s decade-long quest to explore life’s biggest questions: What is life? Does consciousness exist? How is everything connected? Traveling from Copenhagen to Okinawa, Kestner seeks answers with scientists like Charles Foster and Eske Willerslev, revealing insights into existence, love, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Blending science with personal storytelling, „Life and Other Problems” turns a zoo animal’s fate into a vibrant, philosophical journey through the mysteries of life and death.
