Kurzinhalt: Die Alchemie des Brotbackens — Kunst und Ökologie

Trailervideo:

Englische Synopsis: A poetic evocation on the alchemy of bread brings the act of baking the most basic of staples, into a high art form. Here nature and human culture collude. Hands pounding, mixing, kneading and stretching, reveal the choreographed rhythms and movements of bread making. Alchemy is a beautifully executed and lyrical film about an activity once ubiquitous in almost every household.



Englische Werkbeschreibung: The baker and protagonist of Alchemy was brought up in Arctic Norway where baking bread is still common in many homes. Her rhythmical movements and confident touch is rooted to generations of woman baking their bread. The timeless beauty of the process brings baking into the realm of poetry and the art that goes beyond the walls of the gallery and onto our kitchen tables. Alchemy gives us the impetus to rediscover and reconnect to the ancient art of bread-baking. It reminds us of the connections between nature and culture and of traditional knowledge and skills we have forgotten. This film is one of a series of short films by the director and producer that reveals the beauty, the sacred and the significant in our everyday world.
