OUR DAILY BREAD Selected to Screen

at the 2006 New York Film Festival

We're very pleased to announce that the feature documentary OUR DAILY BREAD has been selected to screen at the prestigious New York Film Festival. This acclaimed, international prize winning film reveals the little-known world of high-tech agriculture. In a series of visually stunning, continuously tracking, wide-screen images that seem right out of a science-fiction movie, we see the places where food is cultivated and processed: surreal landscapes optimized for agricultural machinery, clean rooms in cool industrial buildings designed for maximum efficiency, and elaborate machines that operate on a 'disassembly line' basis.

PROTEUS Wins Prestigious Award
from the American Historical Association

At last month's Annual Meeting of the American Historical Association, the largest historical society in the United States, PROTEUS: A NINETEENTH CENTURY VISION was awarded the prestigious 2005 John E. O'Connor Film Award for its outstanding interpretation of history through the medium of film.

PROTEUS: A NINETEENTH CENTURY VISION, a multi-layered, animated exploration of the 19th century's fascination with the undersea world, about the intersection of spirituality, art and science, is according to Science Magazine, "A Truly Stunning Film! Lebrun successfully fuses his selection of images and text to bring to life the drama behind this 19th century vision of nature."
