NYC Food Film Festival
Have you ever seen a dish featured so prominently in a film that you just had to have it?
What if, while you were watching a documentary on juicy grilled burgers, the doors to the theater opened and revealed waiters bearing platters of actual juicy grilled burgers for you to eat right then and there? If this sounds too good to be true…it isn’t.
Now in it’s 5th year, the NYC Food Film Festival has landed at Tribeca Cinemas & The Varick Room for the first time! The brainchild of Festival Directors George Motz and Seth Unger, this 4-day event promises an experience like no other. Kicking off on Thursday, October 13th, and running through Sunday, October 16th, the NYC Food Film Festival brings interactive cinema far beyond the standard 3D found at your local multiplex.
Featuring films ranging in subjects from traditional Vietnamese Banh Mi sandwiches to mobile sustainable farming, this festival has something for everyone. The event will turn our entire venue into a true foodie paradise, inhabiting both of our screening rooms as well as the newly renovated reception area, The Varick Room.
Presented in association with The James Beard Foundation, the Festival benefits the Food Bank for New York City, not to mention your appetite! Every foodie on the East Coast is sure to be talking about this year's series of special events. Tribeca Taco Takedown, anyone? Or should we skip the politeness and get right to the Food Porn Party?!
