Hungry Filmmakers III -- Digs Deeper Into Food Issues

After two sold-out sessions, the food documentary film screening and discussion event Hungry Filmmakers™ will return to Anthology Film Archives on May 24, 2010.

Unlike any other festival or single film screening, Hungry Filmmakers continues its tradition of showcasing excerpts or trailers from six upcoming or newly produced films that are hungry for wider audiences. Each filmmaker or a representative of the film will be in attendance for a lively Q&A.

The evening’s moderator will be Paula Crossfield, Managing Editor of Civil Eats, a blog that promotes critical thought about sustainable agriculture and food.

The films:
· The Bering Sea: An Ecosystem in Crisis by Brent Balalas
· Vanishing of the Bees by George Langworthy and Maryam Henein
· The Farmer and The Horse by Jared Flesher
· Lunch Line by Uji Films (Ernie Park and Michael Graziano)
· Pressure Cooker by Jennifer Grausman and Mark Becker
· You Are What You Eat by Ginalola Lowry

Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Screenings begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

A reception will follow in the theater lobby with snacks and beer from Lagunitas Brewery.

Tickets available for advance purchase here.

Hungry Filmmakers is a not-for-profit event hosted by Shelley Rogers, Tim Lynch, Cathy Erway and Jimmy’s No. 43.

Proceeds from the evening will be donated to Just Food, the nonprofit organization working to promote access of fresh, seasonal, sustainably grown food for all NYC residents. Find out more about Hungry Filmmakers.
