SPECIAL 7:40 P.M. SCREENING

There will be a brief introduction at 7:30 p.m. prior to the 7:40 p.m. screening and an in-depth Q&A panel discussion following the film. Then, you can head uptown to join special guests Liz Marshall, director of The Ghosts in the Machine, Jo-Anne McArthur, photographer and film protagonist, and Susie Coston, Farm Sanctuary’s national shelter director, for a “toast” and meet-and-greet at 10:15 p.m. at Candle 79. Dinner reservations are required.

 NOTE: Apart from the meet-and-greet, there will not be an organized event, and you will be dining at the restaurant privately with your party as you would on any other night. 

ABOUT THE FILM

The Ghosts in Our Machine delves into a complex social dilemma surrounding animals. In essence, humans have cleverly categorized non-human animals into three classes: domesticated pets, wildlife, and the ones we don’t like to think about. These hidden, exploited animals are the “ghosts in our machine.” The film asks us to consider the question: Why do we value wildlife and our companion animals but not the billions of animals bred and used annually by global industries?
