The independent movies “Food and Country” and “Red Herring” are among highlights in the final leg of the 2023 tour Aug. 1-6.
Although representing a curated portion of the films, documentaries and shorts in the 43rd annual festival, the lineup effectively liberates narrow definitions of what constitutes Jewish identity, culture, faith, traditions, history, filmmaking and storytelling.
“We’re proud to include this important film in our library of JFI-supported films,” says Lexi Leban, the JFI’s executive director. “JFI prioritizes funding films that feature unique, innovative representations of Jewish identity. It is an artfully constructed and profoundly moving film.” Reichl has focused on food culture for more than 50 years and taps longtime friends such as Bay Area culinary legend Alice Waters and introduces new voices whom she and Gabbert discovered during the filmmaking process. The documentary draws a rich, troubling, fine-tuned, coherent and surprisingly intimate portrait of the food industry and the systemic issues that plague it.
“Food and Country” was also different from her previous films about food, “City of Gold” and “No Impact Man,” in which she knew ahead of time what the cinematography and other components would involve.
