Food Film Series

The Institute for the Humanities and Chicago Area Food Studies Working Group are excited to present three foreign language feature films that each take food as a central theme.  The film screenings will be moderated by faculty in food studies, languages, and cultural studies.  We will focus on the use of food as cultural representation, personal identity, and historical subject.

Babette’s Feast

Some movies can only be described as delicious. In Babette’s Feast, a woman flees the French civil war and lands in a small seacoast village in Denmark, where she comes to work for two spinsters, devout daughters of a puritan minister. (1985, Danish)

Moderator:

Heidi Schlipphacke, UIC Germanic Studies

The screening will be followed by a reception featuring film inspired cuisine.
