Come out and show your support for our local farmers and food growers!  We have invited over 20 Mad River Valley friends and neighbors who grow and raise our food....everything from fruits and vegetables to meat, eggs, milk, honey, and maple syrup.  Please attend this event to show them that we care and appreciate the work they are doing for us.

Welcome to the world of industrial food production and high-tech farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe (don't fool yourselves...it looks just the same if not worse in the US!): monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - 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 pure, meticulous and high-end film experience that enables the audience to form their own ideas.

If you are the type of person who can't watch a movie with out some popcorn...do not despair!  You can even get locally grown popcorn at the Big Picture now!
