Austrian filmmaker Wolfgang Widerhofer will screen the 2005 documentary Our Daily Bread and discuss his role as editor and dramaturg on the film. As a collaborator since 1994 with director Nikolaus Geyrhalter, Widerhofer has worked as producer, director, screenwriter, and editor and has edited each of Geyrhalter’s films since Washed Ashore (1994).

Our Daily Bread is described by its official Website as “a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn’t always easy to digest – and in which we all take part.” The film explores the world of European industrial food production as seen through “surreal landscapes plasticized and optimized for tractors and agricultural machinery, sterile rooms in cool industrial buildings designed to ensure logistic efficiency, machines that require uniform materials for smooth processing. What might look like something from the world of science fiction is reality. Our food is produced in spectacular spaces which are seldom seen.”

TFMS’s Third Annual Film Series will focus on environmental film. Internationally acclaimed, award-winning filmmakers Scott Hamilton Kennedy (United States), Yung Chang (China/Canada), and Wolfgang Widerhofer (Austria) will screen and discuss a variety of work that explores a range of environmental issues. Topics include environmental displacement, environmental racism, built environments and social activism, and dependence and sustainability.
