Through an analysis of Karel Doing’s film The Mulch Spider’s Dream (2018), it displays how cinema may showcase more-than-human subjectivity by conveying phytosemiosis, a plant’s way of signifying. Afterwards, it investigates a vegan cinema, and explores how the style of existence exemplified by plants may be drawn on to design a more sustainable way of producing cinematic media.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPlant ethicsCinemaVeganismKarel DoingArticle213250
