Food in the Movies

So, here are some random events concerning food. My favorite subject....

Real Art Ways in Hartford has a film coming up called "Kings of Pastry" As their website states "this documentary captures the never-before-filmed Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, France's highest honor in the art of patisserie." It opens November 5th, and you can check out the preview for it on their website: http://www.realartways.org/cinema.htm

And then, at Wesleyan University in Middletown there is a campus wide focus called "Feet to the Fire: Feast or Famine" which has brought two exhibits. The first is a show at the Davison Art Center called "Art and Appetite". It opens September 17th and it's focus is on how food has been depicted by artists throughout the centuries. It ranges from engravings done by Pierter Brugel the Elder to the flying pizza of Claes Oldenberg. The second is called "Food for Thought" and that focuses on resources from early cookbooks to agricultural manuals. It has opened already at the Olin Library and runs through December 10th. for more information you can check out their website: www.wesleyan.edu/dac or call (860) 685-2500.
