Oslofilm: Maten vi spiser

1953 · 11m · Documentary

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.
