rss feedLike food and film (at the same time)? Head to the NYC Food Film Festival this month
If you live on the West Coast or just can’t make the fourth annual NYC Food Film Festival, have a look at this enticing video reviewing last year’s gastronomical extravaganza.
It’s great, especially with last year’s tagline, “Watch What You Eat.”
You’ll get the idea of what you’ll experience should you attend the festival, which runs from June 23 to 27. If you do go, you can study your favorite food being made and eat samples of it, too! Yes! At the same time!
So what type of food shows up at the film festival? Well, last year, there was buttermilk, including this comment maker Earl Cruze:
You know, I don’t know anything that I can do better for the human race, you know, than to make buttermilk.
The Cruze Farm Girl blog is certainly worth a few minutes of your online time – you would have never thought (or at least I would have never thought) that buttermilk could be such a great blog vehicle.
During last year’s festival, people applauded when buttermilk ice cream showed up.
Also making a cameo in this video clip (drum roll, please) from 2009 - shiitake ice cream.
If you’re seeking a selection of digital photographs of the food, fun and people from last year’s event, organizers have posted them on flickr.
Yes, I should thank documentary filmmaker George Motz for organizing the festival and posting the great videos that you see in this entry.
Motz likes hamburgers. He also has taught a class about hamburgers at New York University.
If you like Brooklyn-style pizza – or rather, watching it being made – have a look at the video below.
The topic of food reminds me: In Anhui province in China, there is the annual bean curd festival, which is held each September.
If you’re interested how I came across this festival and all these great food videos, I spotted a link on Huffington Post about food films.
By the way, I’ve always thought that “Eat Drink Man Woman” was a stellar food film.
