October 17th and 18th - Britannia High School Auditorium
The local food movement is apparent everywhere you go these days. From neighbourhood gardens to thriving farmers’ markets and even backyard chicken coops, Vancouverites are embracing it with gusto.
The Sustenance Festival is pleased to feed that enthusiasm with the first annual "Stone Soup Film Festival: Exploring the Politics of Food". The festival will screen a wide range of films that emphasize the positive efforts being made to change our current food system and empower this generation to take action.
Selections include: "The Garden"", the Academy-nominated feature about the fight to save a beloved urban farm in South Central L.A; "Mad City Chickens", a documentary about chickens and the urbanites who love them; "All Jacked Up", a poignant portrait of four teens struggling with sugar addiction; "Food Inc.", an expose on the shocking truth about our food system, and many more!
Festival passes are $15, and admission to individual films is by donation (suggested donation $5). All proceeds go to local community gardens.
For more information, call 604-718-5895 or visit the film blog.
The Stone Soup Film Festival is presented as part of Sustenance: Feasting on Art and Culture, a city-wide food festival to be held from October 3rd to 18th at various locations.
