Intro video: Global Food Systems

This video begins with a personalised welcome to country from Kaurna elder Jack Buckskin. It then takes viewers into a visual and audio time-travelling experience: exploring different facets of our food system, gradually increasing in speed before rewinding and bringing us back to the present. It is designed to stir curiosity and create emotional investment into the global food system. We originally created this as an ‘on-boarding’ experience for audiences participating in our immersive theatre show, Eating Tomorrow. The video is original IP from Post Dining.
