L'abattoir idéal, une histoire d'éleveurs

In the heart of Creuse, butchers prepare and sell meat. But their butcher shops are not the only place where heritage is passed on. The slaughterhouse is another. A collective of farmers was formed to find a solution to the tension between ethical farming practices and the industrialization of slaughter. The goal: to reclaim meat production and accompany the animals until their death, in conditions worthy of the respect with which they are raised. This balanced position, between the demands of industry and those of activists, remains precarious.

Legendary Children [All of Them Queer]

Titled after Holly Johnson's iconic anthem, Legendary Children [All Of Them Queer] follows many of the original pioneers of the 1972 and first European Pride March during events over the summer of Pride 50 when the UK marked its 50th anniversary in spectacular style. The headline cast encompasses some of the most genuinely influential figures in UK LGBTQIA+ rights activism and its history. Like their US counterparts in the two years following the Stonewall Riots, these remarkable individuals were there at the very start when Pride was taking its first steps in Europe too. We won't quite see their like again. Not a history lesson, the film is a lively, informal celebration and personal recollection of many stages along the way of 50 years of activism, both then and now, by those who were there.
