Hi Gary,
PFA had a series called Edible Cinema
http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/resources/film_notes/index.html
You've probably seen the list already; the reason I was checking their
Filmnotes was to see if they had anything on a great Ermanno Olmi film,
Long Live the Lady. The film notes say they got a print in 1996 from
Kino, but I believe Jessica told me a while back that it no longer has a
US distributor ( and alas was never available on video, so it's a no-go
for your class). Somebody should pick this film up!!!

I know there's more...I could use your help.
Here are the ground rules:
1. Movie or scene must "say" something substantive about the relationship of food/eating/cooking to race/ethnicity, gender, class, sex, etc. etc. etc. The usual academic focuses...
2. Movie must be available on video (because I'm relating this page to stuff we own or can acquire)
3. Give me a two to four line description of the movie or scene and I'll put your name up in lights on the page.Bon appetite!Gary HandmanDirectorMedia Resources CenterMoffitt LibraryUC Berkeleyghandman@library.berkeley.eduhttp://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC
