Open Discussion “Why Look at Animals?”

How much and in what ways does man differ from animals? What are the moral boundaries in experimenting with animals? How fragile is our relationship with them? How does art and philosophy converse with the animals? What does our stance towards animal kingdom reveal for our species? The 21st Thessaloniki Documentary Festival invites us to participate in an open discussion that will be held on the occasion of this year’s edition tribute «Why Look at Animals?».

The speakers are:
Stavros Karageorgakis (PhD, University of Athens), author, researcher;
Yorgos Skambardonis, author;
and Louie Psihoyos, film director.

Moderator: Anna Lydaki, Professor at the Department of Sociology, Panteion University.
