About

La présentation sera suivie d'une séance de questions et réponses avec Jo-Anne McArthur. Entrée libre avec contribution volontaire pour soutenir le Festival THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE met en lumière les vies de divers animaux rescapés ou vivants encore le cauchemar «mécanique» de notre monde moderne. À travers les lentilles de la célèbre photographe animalier Jo-Anne McArthur, le spectateur se familiarise avec une pléiade de «personnages» animaux non-humain. Le film présente les voyages et rencontres de la photographe qui passa une année complète à documenter diverses histoires animales au Canada, aux États-Unis et dans quelques pays européens. Chacune de ces histoires est une fenêtre sur des industries exploitant des animaux : alimentation, divertissement, mode, recherches pharmaceutiques, etc… Faisant partie intégrante du volumineux projet photo We Animals (www.weanimals.org), déjà dans sa quinzième année d’existence, l’oeuvre de Jo-Anne McArthur respire l’empathie sans perdre de son professionnalisme. Les animaux sont-ils de simples marchandises assujettis à l’Homme ou est-il temps pour l’humanité de revoir ses positions face à des êtres sensible partageant notre planète ? Le film sera présenté en anglais avec sous-titres français.

*****

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Jo-Anne McArthur. Entry is free With the exception of our companion animals and the wild and stray species within our urban environments, we experience animals daily only as the food, clothing, animal tested goods and entertainment we make of them. This moral dilemma is largely hidden from our view. THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE illuminates the lives of individual animals living within and rescued from the machine of our modern world. Through the heart and photographic lens of animal rights photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur, audiences become intimately familiar with a cast of non-human animals. From undercover investigations to joyful rescue missions, in North America and in Europe, each photograph and story is a window into global animal industries: Food, Fashion, Entertainment and Research.

THE GHOSTS IN OUR MACHINE charts McArthur’s efforts to bring wider attention to a topic that most of humankind strives hard to avoid. Are non-human animals property to be owned and used, or are they sentient beings deserving of rights?
