There is a dimension that is hidden, sometimes ignored, and often removed in every aspect of daily life. The awareness of this turn around in daily life, which is in many ways unbearable, comes to the surface of the viewer's consciousness through a selection of images which we have made ourselves and video material from animal-rights associations.
Biography
film director
Associazione Culturale Ararat
The Associazione Culturale Ararat was founded in Turin in 1992. It proposes that the culture of violence and oppression tied in with species-bound, racist, and sexist conceptions should be overcome. These are seen as the varied expression of a single discriminatory attitude. This culture should be overcome through the affirmation of a social sensitivity that is aware of the themes of freedom, of rights, and of respect for differences. This social sensitivity should be marked by a balanced relationship among mankind, other animals, and the environment. Therefore our primary goal is to arouse interest in the transformation of the anthropocentric concept and our aim is to abolish every form of exploitation and prevarication, such as vivisection, hunting, intensive animal-raising, etc. We do this through organizing exhibits, debates, lectures, and the dissemination of self-produced informative material. At the same time, we are an organization open to considering the various types of social problems.
