Brother and sister glass artists Mark Tranter and Patricia Tranter-Edmonds with Lee James reveal traditional glassblowing techniques, behind the scenes work and their inspirations when creating a wide variety of unique studio/art glass for the trade and retail commissions.
Body Harvest Arthur Cauty (10 mins)
Body Harvest is a shockingly controversial documentary short from award nominated Director Arthur Cauty (Hard Knocks, 2009), which explores our attitudes towards animals. On one hand we adore and nurture our cats and dogs as pets, but on the other hand, we adore gorging ourselves on burgers and roast chicken dinners.
Every year, 50 billion animals are slaughtered across the globe, for us to eat. The majority of these animals suffer in over-crowded, disease ridden factory farms for the entirety of their short lives. They are grown with the sole purpose of being eaten by us.
Body Harvest takes an open minded stance on the topic of meat production, exploring contrasting opinions across occupation, nationality, race and culture. Prepare yourself for a shocking, thought provoking, satirical and darkly comic exploration of todays farming landscape.
"We all have the ability to show compassion, but for some reason, when we eat meat, we disconnect our compassion for the animal, with our desire to be satiated with a nice steak." - Alan Macmillan Orr, Author of "The Natural Mind: Waking Up"
