Hungry Filmmakers: An Evening of Films About Food

Hungry Filmmakers describes the innovative documentarians whose films dig into the agricultural quandaries facing our society today. Excerpts from six upcoming, food-oriented films will be featured on December 15, 2009 at Anthology Film Archives, followed by a lively Q & A and panel discussion moderated by food activist and author Anna Lappé. An After Party with hors d’oeuvres from local and sustainably-minded food and beverage purveyors will follow at nearby Good Beer Seal bar, Jimmy’s No. 43.
