NYC Food Film Festival Announces Details For Summer 2010
Monday, 07 June 2010
Only a city as food-obsessed as New York could spawn the NYC Food Film Festival. Produced in association with the James Beard Foundation and benefiting the Food Bank For New York City, the 2010 NYC Food Film Festival runs from Wednesday, June 23rd to Sunday, June 27th. Summer 2010 marks the fourth year of this exciting week of events in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens where food and film enthusiasts are invited to taste what they see on the screen. Yes, the NYC Food Film Festival serves the food that is seen in the films. Some of the events feature free food films and free film foods. What more could you ask for?

Many of the Festival events will take place outdoors, including a new take on the beloved American tradition - the drive-in movie. On Saturday, June 26, from Noon to 10pm, the NYC Food Film Festival presents The World's First Food Truck Drive-In Movie, where the food trucks drive in and the crowd arrives on foot. A caravan of the region's best food trucks will assemble in Brooklyn, under the Brooklyn Bridge, offering authentic artisan fare from Waffles and Ice Cream to Pupusas and Cheeseburgers. Attendees can sample from this vast array of treats, and watch food films that celebrate the food truck tradition.

The NYC Food Film Festival sprang from the fevered imagination of Festival Director George Motz, the documentary filmmaker behind the award-winning Hamburger America film and book, along with co-creator and Festival Executive Chef Harry Hawk, formerly of Schnack and Water Taxi Beach. Through documentaries, features and short films, the Festival showcases the best, and the most memorable, of the world's favorite foods. Along with a heaping helping of mouth-watering films, Motz, Hawk and company, will serve up the food that guests are watching on the screen for a multi-sensory, full-bodied experience.

Each year, the James Beard Foundation hosts a Festival Preview, called "Beard on Film", that offers members and the public a tiny taste of the food and film to be featured during Festival week. This year, Beard on Film, presented by Jarlsberg, will take place at the James Beard House on the evening of June 3rd. Additionally, the James Beard Foundation and Jarlsberg will host a press preview lunch that same day.
