Rapid global urbanization is one of the most prevalent drivers for the loss of biodiversity, but crows are experts in adapting to city life. "Neighbors" is an observational and poetic documentary about the parallel lives of human and non-human animals in the city. The film follows crows in Berlin, exploring a city in transformation. No music, text, or human dialogue is needed in this unique journey into post-anthropocentric ways of filming, opening up new perspectives on a more-than-human-world. In Lilli Kuschel’s artistic practice filmmaking is an act of sensing and making sense of the world through observation. In her work she discovers strangeness in the familiar, new ways of seeing the everyday, and comedy in the structural.
