Unfiction: Our Daily Bread

“Devastating! A must-see!” – The New York Times

“The 2001: A Space Odyssey of modern food production.” – The Nation

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks and listens into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal land and soundscapes— a cool, industrial environment which leaves little space for individualism. People, animals, crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistics of this system, which provides our society’s standard of living.

Our Daily Bread is a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn’t always easy to digest—and in which we all take part. A meticulous study that enables the audience to form their own ideas through long shots calculating what happens before food journeys to tables around the globe.

Curator: Micah Silver
