Florida Voices for Animals presents The Ghosts in Our Machine

November 7, 2pm
Tampa Bay History Center, Tampa, Florida
FREE and open to the public
Post-screening Q&A with JoAnne McArthur

Animals are hidden in the shadows of our highly mechanized world.   The Ghosts in Our Machine is a cinematic cross-platform documentary that illuminates the lives of individual animals living within and rescued from the machine of our modern world.

Through the heart and lens of photographer Jo-Anne McArthur we become intimately familiar with a cast of nonhuman animals.  The Ghosts in Our Machine charts McArthur's efforts to bring wider attention to a topic that most of humankind strives hard to avoid. Earnest Hardy of The Village Voice called the documentary "utterly engrossing."

Jo-Anne McArthur, the subject of the film, will speak at Tampa Bay Veg Fest at 11:30 a.m. in the Tampa Bay History Center.   She will also be present for Q&A after the film which screens at 2:00 p.m.

The 6th Annual Tampa Bay Veg Fest will feature local restaurants with vegetarian and vegan food; Films, live music and entertainment; fun and games for kids; healthy-living and eco-friendly exhibitors; info on local nonprofits; animal adoptions; cooking demonstrations; and well-known national and local guest speakers.
