Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film, with its sumptuous cinematography, looks into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds – a cool, sanitized environment which leaves little space for our fantasies of small, bucolic farms.
Screening introduced by Catherine Flood and May Rosenthal Sloan, curators of the Food: Bigger than the Plate exhibition at the V&A (tbc).
