Les Ventres

Directed by

A disturbingly surreal parable about the risks of GMO, this short animation film captures the viewer's imagination with its masterful use of design, revealing the grim reality of a world where everything is mass produced and pre-packaged. In this aseptic, industrialized world populated by overweight clones, transgenic food is mass produced by a food producer whose factory-laboratories carry out every sort of imaginable genetic modification. Ironically, it is a food tycoon who will discover that the risk of ending up on someone's plate is not so unlikely.
