The Food Film Festival 2018: Grace Dent presents Big Night
A new annual film festival that recognises the major contribution that food and drink has played in the history of cinema launches for four nights from 29th January 2018. The inaugural Food Film Festival is presented under the auspices of the British Museum of Food, which was created by Bompas & Parr and which formally launches in 2018.
From films solely focused on food and drink to iconic scenes where food is crucial to plotline and narrative, to movies where film stars interact with food as an integral part of narrative or characterisation, the festival will shine a light on food’s crucial, and often quirky, role in cinematic mythology.
Our first screening has been selected by Guardian restaurant critic Grace Dent who has decided to feature Big Night on the first night of the four-day festival.
Chef Primo (Tony Shalhoub) and businessman Secondo (Stanley Tucci) are immigrant brothers from Italy who open their own restaurant, Paradise, in New Jersey. However, Primo's style of authentic Italian food is unsuited to the local tastes, and the restaurant is struggling. When famous Italian-American bandleader Louis Prima is scheduled to appear at Paradise, the two brothers pull out all the stops for the night, which will likely decide the fate of their restaurant.
Ticketholders will also gain entrance to an accompanying micro-exhibition, Oranges & Death, which is inspired by the trope of the fruit within the world of films as a harbinger of death. Guests can also purchase a number of specially designed cocktails inspired by film and designed by the Mondrian's award-winning Dandelyan bar team.
Doors open to the event at 6.30pm, with the screening of Big Night starting from 7.00pm and finishing at 9.30pm.
