SEATTLE, May 1 A film chronicling the sex lives of a Washington state group of zoophiles -- people attracted to animals -- is headed for the Cannes Film Festival.The community of horse lovers remained off the radar until an event exposed them to the world: the death of a man who allowed a horse's penis to penetrate him anally. Because of the unpleasant subject matter, a new movie from Seattle independent filmmakers borrow from documentary and narrative drama forms to shed light on the scandal that made "horse sex" one of the most talked-about subjects in the area 2005, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer said Tuesday. Director Robinson Devor and writer Charles Mudede debuted the re-enactment-heavy "Zoo" at Sundance Film Festival. After its showing at Cannes, it is scheduled to open May 11 in Seattle. "The darkest side of the story is we all need a community, no matter what it is," Mudede said. "This is a celebration of community, even if it's, 'Oh my God, what kind of community is this?' You should feel from the film empathy." There is no explicit sex in "Zoo." "We definitely have a prude streak running through us in approaching this," Devor said. Copyright 2007 by UPI
