Field & Screen, a monthlong film series focused on food, cooking, and the environment, will be presented for the third year in February 2012 at the Wexner Center. In addition to a full slate of films—largely, but not exclusively, documentaries—this year’s series also features a dinner, a panel discussion, three visiting filmmakers, and more.
“Back by popular demand, Field & Screen is an opportunity for us to present the best films on food and the environment,” says David Filipi, director of the film/video department. “It’s a series that the community responds to in a big way. We are pleased to be able to offer up a rich program of special and related events again this year.”
A few highlights:
A panel discussion featuring local environmental advocates will be held following the screening of Force of Nature: The David Suzuki Movie on February 10.
The screening of the film Milk and the Land on February 11 will include a visit from the CEO and founder of Snowville Creamery, as well as a Snowville milk tasting.
Dinner & A Movie, the inaugural dinner hosted by the Wexner Center’s acclaimed Heirloom café, will be offered on February 17, featuring a prix fixe, family-style dinner, followed by the documentaries Truck Farm and The City Dark, introduced by director Ian Cheney.
On February 24, director Christopher Munch introduces his film Letters from the Big Man, about an artist/hydrologist in Oregon’s Klamath National Forest; and on February 29, Minnesota-based Kyja Kristjansson-Nelson introduces two of her captivating films.
