Le documentaire expérimental Le Temps des bêtes porte sur les différentes relations que nous entretenons avec les animaux. Il illustre un paradoxe : il y a ceux que l’on aime et ceux que l’on exploite pour notre profit. Le film met aussi en lumière le travail des gens qui s’occupent de leur bien-être de diverses façons. Ultimement, il propose que le véganisme n’est pas le mouvement radical et marginal que l’on dépeint dans les médias, ni même un style de vie pour simplement faire différent, mais plutôt une forme de conscience qui cherche à réconcilier nos valeurs intrinsèques et nos actions quotidiennes.

In the short film produced by Fronteiras do Pensamento in partnership with Okna Produções, Australian philosopher Peter Singer proposes fundamental ethical challenges about life: do we have the right to end our own life? After all, how different is existing from living?

A Cow at My Table explores Western attitudes towards farm animals and meat, and the intense battle between animal advocates and the meat industry to influence the consumer's mind. Five years in production took Director Jennifer Abbott across Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand to meet with the leaders of the animal rights movement, animal welfare advocates as well as spokespeople from livestock industries. A Cow at My Table inter-cuts these diverse perspectives with archival films, images from modern-day agribusiness and footage of farm animals shot from uncharacteristic vantage points.

This groundbreaking film reveals the truth surrounding Australia’s love-hate relationship with its beloved icon.

Nous sommes à un tournant de l'histoire de notre espèce : alors que nous découvrons que les autres animaux nous ressemblent plus que nous ne l'aurions cru possible, un mouvement de plus en plus important dénonce les industries opaques qui utilisent les animaux de manière troublante. "Humans and Other Animals" entraîne les spectateurs dans un voyage épique, présente des preuves directes de la façon dont les animaux pensent, utilisent le langage et ressentent l'amour, et mène l'enquête dans des industries puissantes, à l'aide d'équipements sur mesure et de tactiques jamais expérimentées auparavant. Il présente également une idée philosophique profonde qui pourrait changer à jamais notre façon de voir les autres animaux et de nous percevoir nous-mêmes.
