Horse (Andy Warhol) uses the mere presence of a horse (along with costumes and other elements, but primarily the horse) to visually denote the film's status as a Western - possibly a distancing tactic in the way you suggest, since inter-human violence (instigated from offscreen) certainly is a subject of the film, and there is a definite animal-human interaction as well.
Lucien Taylor's and Verena Paravel's recent film Leviathan is an immersive record of the activity (animal and human) on and around a fishing vessel at sea.
