The notion "Ecological Film" is being quite frequently used by film scholars today, especially when it comes to documentary films or тction films using animals as actors. In both cases the film's creators turn to the theme of Nature, which makes it possible to treat this category of screen production as a separate art form. The article covers the artistic motivations making the world's best documental filmmakers (Verner Herzog, Godfrey Reggio, etc.) turn to this theme, and the dramatic methods characteristic of ecological film.
