Give Us This Day... OUR DAILY BREAD + LIVE SCORE

At the Roundhouse, London, SUNDAY 19th DECEMBER 2010.


Watching Nikolaus Geyrhalter's mesmerising documentary Our Daily Bread is more like gradually tracking through a series of stunning photographs, each one a tableau of modern industrial food production in some form.  From soulless production lines to doomed animals it's a slow and meditative journey through this massive, surreal and disturbing industry.  Beautiful, eerie, at times witty, often unpleasant, there are some humans dotted throughout the mechanised landscape, but interaction is limited in this nearly wordless hygienic world.  


The Studio Theatre at the Roundhouse, Camden, consistently puts on brilliant, one-off, very special Special Events, we like this, and we like the fact that on Sunday 19th December they're putting on Pevin Kinel's inspired live score to the Our Daily Bread.  Also what's nice is that it's in association with Branchage and the utterly excellent film and music website The Quietus.

Branchage commissioned this soundtrack for our 2010 festival, and as it was only on once, in Jersey, and in a barn on an organic farm, there are lots of people out there who won't have had the chance to see it.  Now is your time.


We're very proud to be associated with this event.

You can read more and buy tickets on the Roundhouse website or join the facebook event and share it with your pals.
