Devour! Opening Gala Film Presented by CBC: The Hundred-Foot Journey Curated by Gordon Pinsent
After a fatal tragedy, the Kadam family leaves India for a small town in southern France. Once settled they get to work on realizing their dream of opening a traditional, family-run Indian restaurant — 100 feet from a Michelin star classic French restaurant run by the indomitable Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren). The initial rivalry and cultural clashes succumb to their shared passion for food, and ultimately their lives and the sleepy little town are charmingly transformed.
France/India, 2014, 123 minutes
Director Lasse Hallström
Distributor Audio Ciné Films Inc.
Following this screening, Gordon Pinsent will be interviewed on-stage by longtime friend of the festival, Bob Blumer.
On this special evening we also award the youth winner of the Nourish Nova Scotia Food & Film Challenge. We invited children and youth of all ages to make a short film under three minutes about food literacy – having the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary to choose, grow, prepare and enjoy food to support one’s health, community and the environment. The winner receives a $500 prize from Nourish Nova Scotia to support a healthy eating program or initiative in their school/community, as well as a new CBC Prize.
