SUPERSTUDIO 2024 - DOMESTICATED FOODSCAPES - EAST LABORATORY - EPFL

Synopsis:

The smell of sizzling sausages was once a universal comfort, the meat industry a global powerhouse. But in a bold bid for climate neutrality by 2045, Switzerland enacts a radical law slashing meat consumption by 70%. A decade later, the world looks starkly different: the meat industry lies in ruins, its remnants intertwined with a new cultural identity, while traditional farming and culinary practices are supplanted by biotech proteins. Through three compelling chapters, the film explores this little mind game, offering a thought-provoking glimpse into this not-so-distant future.
