SOURDOUGH STARTER
Gail Noonan, BC, 3m, animation
Sourdough Starter is based on a song of the same name that takes a
tongue-in-cheek look at online dating in conjunction with practical directions
on how to make sourdough starter. References to various online sites are
cryptically written into the lyrics in the search for both love and leavening.

archival film from a South Dakota town and audio interviews of residents
who lived through the Great Depression to craft a moving and powerful
allegory of contemporary financial corruption.

toe to toe with Monsanto.
SWEAT
