The rock of Gibraltar is shared between two primate species: people and monkeys. The monkeys populated the upper rock long before the latest human inhabitants, the British, arrived, and now, 300 years on, there are tensions between the two. Attempts to expel the monkeys from the town with peashooters are in vain, as the animals rise to the challenges of the new game. This leads the government to resort to more drastic tactics… A warm and lyrical film about our territorial tendencies as humans.
Eleanor Mortimer, a documentary film maker making films that ask questions about the way our global world works. Her latest short film, Territory, looks at the relationship between humans and monkeys on the rock of Gibraltar - through the eyes of the monkeys. Eleanor live in London and work as part of the documentary film collective Glow in the Dark Films.
