Ah, food and film, two of my favorite subjects mesh together perfectly like a peanut butter and banana sandwich.
The 2009 NYC Food Film Festival runs from June 13-19.
Twenty six feature length and short films abound with topics as wildly varied as sandwich thieves, a love letter to buttermilk, Malaysian street food, New Jersey cranberries, hypnosis vs. junk food, mutton bbq, wild mushroom hunting, Peeps, Argentinian beef and truffles. Peruse the complete film list and schedule.
Big Night, one of my all time favorite films, is playing on June 18th at the South Street Seaport Water Taxi Beach (Pier 17). After I saw that Big Night, I became obsessed with making timpano. I eventually did make it for a holiday party and it was incredible. Instead of spending the better part of a day making your own, you can swing by and sample some while you watch the movie.
For all you mycology fans out there, the feature length film, Know Your Mushrooms, looks very cool. With music by the Flaming Lips it sounds great, too. It screens on June 14.
Would you believe admission to most of the events is free?
And that free samples of food relating to the films will be served?
What is not to like about this festival?
