In this period of mass animal exploitation, a visionary new wave of animal liberation cinema is urgently needed that challenges the status quo and encourages change. The Animal Liberation Film Festival is committed to nurturing and growing the vegan and animal rights community by providing a platform for the screening of unique, meaningful, and impactful audiovisual stories that inspire change. The Empathy Project is delighted to be screened at the festival, which will be held in person at Cinema Nova, Melbourne, between 6-8 November 2026.
