    The (Eatable) NYC Food Film Festival is Back!

    by admin on April 16, 2010

    From NYC Food Film Festival organizers:

    Only a city as food-obsessed as New York could spawn the NYC Food Film Festival. Produced in association with the James Beard Foundation and benefiting the Food Bank For New York City, the 2010 NYC Food Film Festival runs from Wednesday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 27th.  Summer 2010 marks the fourth year of this exciting week of events in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens where food and film enthusiasts are invited to taste what they see on the screen.  Yes, the NYC Food Film Festival serves the food that is seen in the films.  Some of the events feature free food films and free film foods.  What more could you ask for?

    As an official selection in last year’s NYC Food Film Festival, we especially enjoyed participating in the special preview event held at the James Beard House. We screened a trailer (followed by an enthusiastic discussion with the audience) from our award winning documentary New Jersey’s Red October,:

    So we encourage you to do as the NYC Food Film Festival organizers Harry Hawk and George Motz suggest, and go watch what you eat!
