FEASTS ON FILM
Holidays are a time for celebration, for making and breaking bread together. But it’s 2020, so instead we’ll gather on our screens to enjoy some memorable meals from the movies. Some will offer seduction and romance: like “Tom Jones” or “Lady and the Tramp.” Others celebrate the joy of cooking: as in “Julie and Julia,” “Big Night,” and “Babette’s Feast.” And, of course, there’s family and fantasy too: think “National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation” or “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” We’ll visit these and more as we Zoom together to join some favorite feasts on film.
Wednesday 10am - 11:40am PT
