Haggis? The word alone can make one’s stomach turn! Yet this
beautiful documentary draws us in as it follows the three fascinating
Roca brother-chefs from El Celler de Can Roca (named world’s best
restaurant in 2013 and 2015) on their inspired journey through the
northernmost land of the British Isles, Scotland—haggis and all. To
understand the territory, its products, and its artisans, the brothers
explore whiskey, smoked haddock, Aberdeen angus, seaweed, razor clams,
fly fishing, cheese, herbs hunting, strawberries, and more. In their
pursuit, they create a love song to an astonishing cuisine that is yet
to be discovered and savored. Scotland is beautiful. Brothers Joan,
Jordi, and Josep, and their team share stories of little-known people
and products, and of a possible culinary revolution. In the end, they
return home to Spain to create an ode to Scotland—a spectacular meal
interpreting and celebrating all they have come to know and love.

“There is no sincerer love than the love of food,” said
George Bernard Shaw. Orphaned when his unhappy father dies suddenly, a
dreamy young ramen chef in Japan begins a culinary odyssey to learn
about his family and how to make the beloved pork rib soup of his
childhood. Masato heads to Singapore for the first time since he was ten
and discovers its incredible food culture with the help of his pal and
food blogger Miki. With her, he deciphers his mother’s diary, finds his
wonderful Uncle Wee (who teaches him the family’s famed soup), and meets
his formidable grandmother, Madam Lee. Through it all, the loving
preparation of food unites and enlightens. With flashbacks to his
parents’ salad days and lessons in Japanese-Chinese antipathy, the
mouth-watering Ramen Shop acknowledges good food as a universal
language. Beautiful, delicious, and delightful, it is truly “food for
the heart and soul.”

A testament to the immense complexity of nature, The Biggest Little Farm renders
a heartfelt portrait of a Los Angeles couple (and their beloved dog)
who flee the stress of LA for a new life managing a farm just north of
the city limits in the foothills of Ventura County.
Director/cinematographer John Chester and his food blogger wife Molly
created Apricot Lane Farms to reconnect with nature and live an
eco-friendly, sustainable lifestyle. Chronicling eight years of daunting
work and outsize idealism—including planting 10,000 orchard trees and
over 200 crops and bringing in animals of every kind—this unforgettable
film joyously recounts the struggles, successes, and wild twists and
turns of their inspirational endeavor. Putting his camera skills to good
use in the service of rural California’s breathtaking natural splendor,
Chester creates an autobiographical scrapbook like no other. What
emerges is a life-affirming tale of one family who followed their hearts
and turned their dreams of harmony into a flourishing, sustainable
reality.
