What if the staff is almost entirely men and women just out of prison? What if most have never cooked or served before\, and have barely two months to learn their trade? \nKnife Skills follows the hectic launch of Edwins restaurant in Cleveland. In this improbable setting\, with its mouth-watering dishes and its arcane French vocabulary\, we discover the challenges of men and women finding their way after their release. We come to know three trainees intimately\, as well as the restaurant’s founder\, who is also dogged by his past. These men and women all have something to prove\, and all struggle to launch new lives\, an endeavor as pressured and perilous as the ambitious restaurant launch of which they are a part. More… \n  \nFrom the Press\nAn Oscar-Nominated Documentary About Fine Dining and Life After Prison\, by Sarah Larson. The New Yorker\, Culture Desk\, February 6\, 2018 \nAs Thomas Lennon’s forty-minute Oscar-nominated documentary short “Knife Skills” begins\, it’s opening night at Edwins\, a new French restaurant in Cleveland. Just before showtime\, a sharp-dressed proprietor in a pink necktie talks to his staff in the dining room. “This is going to be the most anticipated restaurant opening that Cleveland’s seen\,” he tells them. “And it happens today in about ten minutes.” He’s earnest\, happy\, and intense\, with a kind look in his eyes; they’re nervous but excited\, in chef’s whites and the vest-based formal wear of the dining room. The cause for the anticipation is hinted at by two title cards: one that tells us that Edwins aims to be the best classic French restaurant in the United States\, and another that tells us that Edwins is staffed by people recently released from prison. In the kitchen that night\, as pressure builds\, a French chef with a heavy accent yells\, “I need zhose rabbits\, now!” The film cuts to six weeks earlier\, as Edwins\, which is both a culinary school and a restaurant\, welcomes its first class. More… \n  \nAbout the Director\nThomas Furneaux Lennon (born 1951) is a documentary filmmaker. His films\, broadcast on PBS and HBO\, have won an Academy Award and have been nominated for the Oscar four times. He has also received two George Foster Peabody Awards\, two national Emmys and two DuPont-Columbia Journalism awards. With filmmaker Ruby Yang\, he mounted a vast multi-year AIDS prevention campaign seen over a billion times on Chinese television. Together they made a trilogy of short documentary films about modern China\, including The Blood of Yingzhou District\, which won an Oscar in 2007\, and The Warriors of Qiugang\, nominated in 2011\, which profiles an Anhui Province farmer’s multi-year campaign to halt the poisoning of his village water by a nearby factory. Three weeks after the Oscar nomination\, the local government of Bengbu\, in Anhui\, announced a 200 million yuan (US$30 million) clean-up of the toxic site shown in the film. He produced two historical series on PBS: The Irish in America: Long Journey Home (1998) and Becoming American: The Chinese Experience with Bill Moyers (2003). The Battle Over Citizen Kane (1996) co-written with the late Richard Ben Cramer\, marked his first Oscar nomination and was adapted into a fiction film\, RKO 281\, starring John Malkovich and Melanie Griffith.

Slow Food board members Peg Champion and Brad Whitworth are hosting a special Slow Food private screening in their Windsor home of an American Wine Story. You’ll have a chance to taste the wine from Cartograph Wines\, one of the wineries featured in the film\, and hear firsthand from Cartograph’s owners\, Alan Baker and Serena Lourie\, about their wines and the making of the movie. \nThis screening is a fundraising event for Slow Food Russian River. Attendance is limited to the first 25 people to sign up. Your $50 ticket includes small appetizers paired with tastings of Cartograph Wines. \n6:30pm Arrival with a welcome glass of wine and specially paired appetizer\n6:45pm The Slow Food Story\, and an introduction to an American Wine Story\n7:00 – 8:20pm Film screening\n8:20pm Q&A and winetasting by Alan Baker and Serena Lourie of Carthograph Wines in Healdsburg.

American Wine Story blends this with other tales of risk and reinvention for those who are born again into the wine industry. This feature documentary is about the transformative power of a humble beverage to fuel passion and reshape lives. \nThe documentary follows dozens of winemakers and aficionados from across the country to learn what drives them and traces American wine history in the process. The film leaves audience members with a dash of inspiration to follow their own American Dream or\, at the very least\, pause and consider “the story behind the bottle” the next time they pull a cork. \nPress Responses[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAbout Alan Baker and Serena Lourie of Cartograph Wines\n \nAlan Baker and Serena Lourie founded Cartograph to pursue their passion for wine after enjoying successful careers in other fields — he in public radio and she in health care and venture capital (see their bios LINK for the full story). \nIn 2008\, Alan was working at the Crushpad custom-crush operation in San Francisco\, making Pinot Noir under his Cellar Rat Cellars label. Serena\, on hiatus from her job in health care\, came to Crushpad to learn the craft of winemaking and wound up working with Alan. During that first season making three Pinots together\, they discovered that they shared two things: a similar palate and the dream of pursuing a life in winemaking. \nAfter a long shift at Crushpad in November 2008\, Alan and Serena sat on the curb outside and hatched a plan to make that dream come true. Shortly thereafter\, they moved to Healdsburg\, toting two barrels — 50 cases — of the Pinot they’d made at Crushpad. That wine became the first release under the Cartograph label\, with the front of each bottle showcasing a map of the winding road that brought the couple together to create Cartograph Wines. \nTwo years later\, they opened their first tasting room in a shared space\, and moved in 2013 to their own space one block north of the main plaza in Healdsburg. In 2014\, Cartograph was featured in the American Wine Story documentary\, which showed at several film festivals and is available online via LINK vhx.tv and Itunes. In 2016\, Cartograph purchased its first vineyard. \nWhile Alan’s focus is sourcing great fruit and making the wine\, Serena runs the tasting room and manages the business. Cartograph now produces 1\,300 cases of wine annually\, mainly Pinot Noir\, and including aromatic whites in the style of the Alsace region of France. \nAlan and Serena’s goals are to make wines that impress with nuance and subtlety\, and to show how elegant wine can be when the winemaking process involves sourcing from impeccable vineyards and using a light hand in winemaking. More… \n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]\nAbout Slow Food Russian River\nSlow Food Russian River is a vibrant USA chapter of Slow Food International.

SUMMARY:FILM: An Acquired Taste\, Sponsored by Slow Food Russian River
DESCRIPTION:The Film: An Acquired Taste\nSlow Food Russian River is proud to sponsor the film An Acquired Taste\, directed by Vanessa LeMaire\, as part of the 10th Annual Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. Friday\, March 24\, 2017\, 4:15 – 6pm. Doors open 3:45pm. \nTickets for An Acquired Taste\nIndividual Tickets for the film are $12 (General Admission) and $10 for members of the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. Membership has perks! Highly Recommended. Use the Membership Code you receive to reap the benefits. Festival Passes are $250 (General Admission) and $225 (Members). \nIMPORTANT: Please show up at least 15 minutes before the screening! The things is that tickets guarantee a seat only until 15 minutes prior to the start of all films and presentations. Fifteen minutes prior to showtime\, empty seats will be resold\, believe it or not. Worse\, late-coming ticket holders will have to queue in the Wait Line to be admitted with their ticket. \nThere are three ways to purchase tickets or passes: \n• Online for this film here and in general at http://sebastopolfilmfestival.org/tickets/\nYou can purchase tickets for individual films via the program to discover films and events throughout the festival weekend. \n• In Person at Sebastopol Center for the Arts (SCA)\n282 South High Street\nSebastopol\, CA 95472 \n• By Telephone at 707-829-4797 x303 ($5 surcharge per phone order)\nHours: Tues-Fri\, 10am – 4pm\, Sat-Sun 1-4pm \nSynopsis of An Acquired Taste\nAs the food movement grows across America\, a young generation of mindful meat-eaters rejects factory farms and turns to hunting for the ultimate protein. Animal lovers Nick\, Alex and Ashlie leave behind their modern lives and embark on a journey that is foreign to their parents — partly to eat dinner\, and partly to carve out their identities in a world increasingly at odds with reality and nature. \nSlow Food’s Slow Meat Campaign\nFor over 10 years Slow Food has been on the front line concerning meat consumption and animal welfare and\, as always\, acts in a variety of areas: farming methods\, production and consumption. \nSlow Meat is an international campaign that brings together diverse people to turn the herd away from the tyranny of cheap meat and toward a food system that is good\, clean and fair for all. \nMeat is a pivotal issue\, emblematic of the unsustainable and unethical practices that are part and parcel of the industrial food system. By championing better methods of animal husbandry and better consumption practices\, together we are creating a healthier and happier world. \nThe young generation of mindful meat-eaters portrayed in this film respond to these unsustainable and unethical practices in a radical manner by hunting their own meat and in doing so align themselves with Slow Food’s goal to eat less meat\, but better meat\, ethically and nutritionally. \nThis year’s Slow Meat event in the USA  is part of Slow Food Nations\, food festival in Denver\, CO\, July 13-16. Slow Food Nations features dozens of interactive workshops\, innovative tastings\, local tours\, educational panels\, and plenty of delicious meals and parties\, Slow Food Nations transforms how farmers and families\, leaders and eaters share our stories and shape the future of food. \nFrom the Press\n“Why kill your own food? An Acquired Taste delves into the inner conflicts of a new urban breed in the San Francisco Bay Area: locavore hunters. Defying factory farms\, a young\, mindful generation learns to hunt as a way of connecting with the source of their sustenance. Vanessa Lemaire’s feature debut is a profound reflection on what makes us human.” (LostIn SF) \nAbout the Director\nLet’s talk a bit about the director\, Vanessa LeMaire. She is an award-winning French Documentary Producer/Director who advances environmental conservation with character-driven non-fiction. She holds a Masters in Environmental Science and a Degree in Film from San Francisco State University and centers her productions on man’s relationship with nature. Vanessa has worked as a director\, writer\, cinematographer and editor for non-profits worldwide. Her clients comprise a U.N. sanitation organization trying to resolve the global toilet shortages as well as American-based research institutes harnessing markets to resolve fisheries\, forest and water crises. \nThis is her first feature-film\, a documentary for which she was awarded a fellowship by The Moving Picture Institute. An Acquired Taste held its World Premiere at the San Francisco Green Film Festival in April 2016. It was showing last fall at BendFilm in Bend\, Oregon\, at Austin Film Festival and at The American Conservation Film Festival\,an annual event held in Shepherdstown\, West Virginia.

SUMMARY:Film Night: Open Sesame – The Story of Seeds
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]\nSlow Food Russian River Summer Film Night: Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds\nJoin us and our partner the Community Seed Exchange for an evening of film and fun—and meet one of the movie stars. That’s right\, Sara McCamant\, founder and director of Community Seed Exchange\, is one of the stars of the film and will share with us more about the film\, Open Sesame: The Story of Seeds\, and the important mission of her Sebastopol-based organization.

(All profits split between Slow Food Russian River and Community Seed Exchange.)\nWho: You! And tell your friends\, but don’t delay. We have a limited number of tickets available. \n \nThe Film: Open Sesame – The Story of Seeds\n“I really loved this film. It unlocks the door to the magical\, powerful\, and perilous world of seeds. It will open hearts and minds …” – Claire Hope Cummings\, award winning author of: Uncertain Peril\, Genetic Engineering and the Future of Seeds. \n“A touching and spiritual film that will no doubt encourage discussion about the future of agriculture…” –Yes! Magazine \nOne of the world’s most precious resources is at risk. This timely and emotionally moving film illuminates what is at stake and what can be done to protect the source of nearly all our food: SEEDS. Seeds provide the basis for everything from fabric\, to food to fuels. Seeds are as essential to life as the air we breathe or water we drink…but given far less attention. \nAccording to the FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN)\, approximately 90 percent of the fruit and vegetable varieties that existed 100 years ago no longer exist today. Heritage grain is near extinction. Seeds that were lovingly nurtured over decades or even hundreds of years have been lost forever. Maintaining seed biodiversity allows us to breed new varieties that are resistant to pests or thrive in temperature extremes. This is essential in a changing climate. \nMeanwhile\, corporations are co-opting seed genetics using patent law. In the past\, seeds were communal. They were a shared resource not unlike the water we drink or the air we breathe. One hundred years ago things started to change.

SUMMARY:Wastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste
DESCRIPTION:Slow Food Russian River is co-sponsoring the film Wastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste at the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival.\nSunday\, March 20\, 3:15-5pm\nSebastopol Center for the Arts\n282 S High St\nSebastopol\, CA 95472 \nWastecooking: Make Food\, Not Waste\nAustria\, 2015\, 82 minutes\nDirectors: David Gross and Georg Misch\nWebsite \n\nSynopsis\nA car that runs on used vegetable oil\, a mobile stove and a host of culinary ideas in his backpack: Wastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste is an entertaining road movie detailing a journey through five European countries\, where the only thing on the menu is what others call garbage. David\, the host of Wastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste\, whips up creative meals aimed at fighting food waste and our consumption-driven society\, and at the same time inspire us to search for creative solutions. \nDavid Gross travels through five European countries on a quest for treasure. According to the UN’s Food and Agricultural Organization FAO\, one third of all food produced around the world ends up in the garbage\, roughly 89 million tons of food a year in Europe alone. David seeks out places where waste happens and asks: How can we save food that would otherwise go to waste and transform it into delicious recipes? Austria\, Germany\, the Netherlands\, Belgium and France are all on the menu. \nOn his journey he rescues food from becoming trash\, and in every country he meets committed activists with ideas on how to combat waste. On board are gourmet chefs\, scientists and connoisseurs who team up to create sumptuous waste cuisine in protest against our consumption-driven society. David gets a look behind the scenes of the European Parliament’s cafeteria and even the refrigerators of everyday residents of the city of Salzburg. He cooks up a fresh bouillabaisse made from by-catch on a French fishing boat\, invites people to participate in a “Schnippeldisko” in Berlin and combs Mother Nature for edible delectables. All the while\, he compiles an innovative culinary travel guide with clever and delicious meals made from all sorts of rescued and collected food. With him on his journey is his trademark garbage dumpster\, which he rebuilt into a mobile cooking stove\, and his wastemobile\, which only runs on used vegetable oil. \nWastecooking – Make Food\, Not Waste is a biting self-experiment. It also offers inspiration for embarking on less travelled paths and getting to know and appreciate food from a different angle. And naturally for transforming it into creative dishes. \nA great insight into the topic of food waste in Europe is our Scroll Dok Wastecooking. On the Wastecooking Facebook-page you find great initiatives and links about the topic as well as wastefood-recipes. \n\nIn German with English subtitles.\n\n\n\nHelpers at the Schnippeldisco (a “Chopping Dance Party”) in Berlin – Wastecooking

SUMMARY:Film Night: "All In This Tea" with David Gambill\, owner of Infusions Tea House in Sebastopol
DESCRIPTION:Film Night: “… All In This Tea”\nFriday\, July 17\, 7:30-10pm\nTickets \nPlease join fellow food lovers for a convivial evening of tea\, drinks\, food\, film\, and conversation in the 2nd of three film nights at 7:30pm\,Friday\, July 17th.  The film we will be viewing is All In This Tea by Les Blank & Gina Leibrecht. \nTickets for this event are $9. Participants are asked to bring a food item or beverage:\nLast name starts with A-F: Beverages; with G-O: Appetizers; with P-Z: Desserts. \nOur speaker for the evening is David Gambill owner of Infusions Tea House in Sebastopol (6968 McKinley St\, Sebastopol\, CA 95472). We will taste a variety of teas donated and served by him as well as ice teas donated by The Taste of Tea in Healdsburg (109 North Street\, Healdsburg\, Ca 95448).  \nNo need to be a Slow Food member to attend. Consider this an introduction to the ideas and ideals of Slow Food. However\, if you wish to become a member please go to https://www.slowfoodusa.org/join-or-renew-membership and make sure to identify Slow Food Russian River as your chapter of choice. \n**** \n“… All In This Tea\,” a film by Les Blank & Gina Leibrecht\, follows the world-renowned tea expert David Lee Hoffman to some of the most remote regions of China in search of the best handmade teas in the world. During his youth\, he spent four years with Tibetan monks in Nepal where he was introduced to some of the finest tea. Unable to find anything but insipid tea bags in the U.S.\, Hoffman began traveling to China to find tea for himself\, climbing up lush\, terraced mountainsides to meet the farmers who practiced skills handed down through generations of tea makers for thousands of years. \n“Take something as simple and ordinary as tea\, then dig deeply into its roots to show that it is far more complex\, subtle\, varied\, challenging and interesting than you would have ever believed. That’s the recipe for a delicious documentary\, and this one delivers. A fanatical tea drinker in California becomes a connoisseur of fine teas\, and then goes on to restore now forgotten traditions of organic artisan tea growing in China. Along the way he reveals the fascinating intricacies of how tea is hand-crafted\, almost like a bottle of wine. This low-key journey into the hinterlands of China will completely transform your idea of tea.” (KK) \nRead artist Lari Washburn’s blog post Time For Tea. \n*** \nPlease Follow The Rooster in your food/beverage choice by including at least one locally grown or produced food item.

SUMMARY:Film Night: "The Slow Food Story" + A Few Shorts
DESCRIPTION:Film Night: “The Slow Food Story” + A Few Shorts\nFriday\, June 19\, 7:30-10pm\nTickets \nTickets for this event are $9. Participants are asked to bring a food item or beverage:\nLast name starts with A-F: Beverages; with G-O: Appetizers; with P-Z: Desserts. \nPlease join fellow food lovers for a convivial evening of drinks\, food\, films\, and conversation in the first of three film nights for the Summer of 2015: the film “The Slow Food Story” preceded by a few captivating shorts. \n****** \nThe Slow Food movement is the subject of the new documentary from director Stefano Sardo. \nSlow Food Story (which might just as easily be titled Petrini Story) chronicles the evolution of the organization through its charismatic leader\, Carlo Petrini\, from its beginnings in the small Piedmonte town of Bra to a worldwide network of 170 chapters in 150 countries. \nThe film’s journey takes us from Petrini’s roots with Radio Free Europe through the Italian wine crisis in the mid-1980s when methanol additives poisoned people\, to the founding of Terra Madre (Mother Earth) in 2004. Despite some illness\, the patriarch Petrini never rests in his quest\, in his passionate pleas to counteract the destructive effects of fast food and a fast life. More than any other single person\, he has promoted the cause of food in Europe; Time Magazine dubbed him ‘Innovator’ in their 2004 list of European heroes. \n(From http://www.huffingtonpost.com/corinna-clendenen/slow-food-the-movie_b_3915246.html ) \n  \n[Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”2″ gal_title=”The Slow Food Story: How Eating Became a Political Act”]\n

SUMMARY:After Winter\, Spring\, a Film by Judith Lit (2012)
DESCRIPTION:Slow Food Russian River is sponsoring the gripping documentary After Winter\, Spring\, a Film by Judith Lit (2012) in the Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. \nIn the Périgord region of southwest France\, a rural community wrestles with a profound question: will it be the last generation of farmers in a region cultivated for 5\,000 years?\nFilmed over four years\, After Winter\, Spring captures the changing lives of farmers with deep roots in the Périgord.\nTheir story is recorded by their American neighbor\, a filmmaker raised on her family’s farm in Pennsylvania.\nInter-weaving their stories\, it reveals the human story of family farming at a turning point in history. \n**** \nSYNOPSIS \nIn the Périgord region of southwest France\, a rural community grapples with a profound question: will it be the last generation of family farmers in a region continuously cultivated for over five thousand years? \nAfter Winter\, Spring\, a Film by Judith Lit (2012)\, is an intimate study of these French farmers as they struggle with that issue. Shot over three years\, the film captures the daily lives of Nanou\, Guy and other neighbors with deep roots in the Périgord. At their kitchen tables and in their fields\, these family farmers communicate a profound attachment to the land. But the film’s characters also share their day-to-day challenges and their fears that small-scale operations such as theirs may be no match for the multitude of 21st century threats. \nIn an era of rapid growth of mega-farms\, the encroachment of suburbia\, new European Union rules\, and reductions of agricultural subsidies\, these farmers — young and old — are forced to confront challenges that threaten the very existence of their small farms. \nTheir story is recorded by one of their neighbors\, an American filmmaker who grew up on her family’s farm in Pennsylvania. Inter-weaving her story and theirs\, the film explores the nature of the farming life and the changes\, over the last 60 years\, that impact the lives of families whose survival is tied to the land. As each of the farmer’s stories unfolds\, we see their individual responses to change…the losses and the surprising adaptations. \nThe Périgordine farmers show us that as agriculture moves out of the hands of families who have farmed for generations and into a model of “agriculture as business\,” something fundamental shifts. This farming community caught between tradition and an uncertain future struggles to hold on not only to their farms but to a set of values that comes of their intimate relationship with the natural world. \nAFTER WINTER\, SPRING reveals the human story of family farming at a turning point in history.
