Food and film are two universal languages that connect us. They can draw upon long forgotten memories, take us to a place we've never been, and say something we could never say ourselves. From dropping frybread into hot oil while listening to the Sunday afternoon movie playing on the TV in the living room to a big tub of buttery popcorn you nervously split on a first date at the movies; film and food have always found a way together.
As we move into November, the concepts of food and film are ever present. Award season films grace the silver screen, cranberry sauce that somehow retains the can lines, and evenings spent hunkered inside trying to decide what to watch and what to eat. With this in mind, our Sundance Indigenous Program staff have each curated a dinner and a movie experience.
Tune in over the next three weeks as they share a favorite film and the food that they would enjoy with it.
