Oslofilm: Maten vi spiser
The story
Every day, fresh foods are transported to Oslo to saturate the city's nearly 500,000 mouths. The food is distributed in various distribution centers on its way to the consumers: fish halls, slaughterhouses, dairies and marketplaces. ***** Oslofilm was a series of public information films about life in and around Oslo, produced between 1940 and 1980. Funded by the state, the films offer valuable insight into postwar Norwegian society. A wide range of Norwegian filmmakers contributed to the productions, resulting in a rich variety of styles and expressions. Several of the films also possess notable cinematic qualities, standing out as more than just informational material. The Oslofilms represent a unique and important chapter in Norwegian film history.
