The Animal Condition Tackles the big Questions at CinefestOZ<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Ground-breaking documentary\u00a0<\/span>The Animal Condition<\/em>, which charts the journey of animal welfare in Australia from a fringe issue to a major community concern, is set to be a hot topic of conversation at Cin\u00e9festOZ.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Animal Condition<\/em>\u00a0follows four friends in their 20s who take an investigative road trip around rural Australia asking questions to all sides \u2013 from activists and welfare agencies to government and industry \u2013 and documents the way humans relate to the animals they eat.<\/p>\n

This objectivity and youthful approach gained the friends unprecedented access to the Australian egg, pork and cattle industries, famous for their privacy.<\/p>\n

Along their journey, the four interview industry heavyweights, federal politicians, animal welfare advocates, indigenous Australians, immigrant factory workers, philosophers and scientists, and with each new encounter they share their reactions, shifting viewpoints and personal reflections with the audience.<\/p>\n

The Animal Condition<\/em>\u00a0had its world premiere at the recent Melbourne International Film Festival, where both sessions sold out and brought groups with opposing views into one cinema for discussion.<\/p>\n

The documentary will screen on Saturday, 23rd<\/sup>\u00a0August as part of Cin\u00e9festOZ\u2019s\u00a0Side Bar<\/a>program.<\/p>\n

First time director Michael Dahlstrom described\u00a0The Animal Condition<\/em>\u00a0as a film about \u201chuman and animal suffering\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Animal Condition<\/em>\u00a0is about the dying farmer unable to keep his operating costs low enough to break even, the activist jailed for refusing to pay trespassing fines and the animals caught in the middle,\u201d he said. \u201cBut most of all, the film is an exploration of the arguments we use to justify our treatment of others. How a farmer treats his dog is very different to the way he treats his pigs. The conditions dealt out to immigrant factory workers are very different to those enjoyed by their managers. \u00a0It is not just a story about animal welfare, but a story about how we as humans treat each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Animal Condition<\/em>\u00a0is a film by Code Talk Films, a collaboration between Augusta Miller (Happy Feet, Risking Our Kids<\/em>), Ande Cunningham (Spartacus: Blood and Sand<\/em>,Raker<\/em>), Michael Dahlstrom and Sarah-Jane McAllan (Before the Rain, Raker, The Wonderful<\/em>).<\/p>\n
