James Beard: America's First Foodie

James Beard: America's First Foodie

Herself

Food in the 21st century has become much more than “meat and potatoes” and canned soup casseroles.” Chefs have gained celebrity status; recipes and exotic ingredients, once impossible to find, are now just a mouse click away; and the country's major cities are better known for their gastronomy than their art galleries. This food movement can be traced back to one man: James Beard. His name graces the highest culinary honor in the American food world today—the James Beard Foundation Awards. And while chefs all around the country aspire to win a James Beard Award, often referred to as the “culinary Oscars,” many of those same chefs know very little about the man behind the medal. Respected restaurateur Drew Nieporent summed it up when he said, “Everybody knows the name James Beard. They may not know who he is, but they know the name.”

Dirt! The Movie

Dirt! The Movie

Self

A look at man's relationship with Dirt. Dirt has given us food, shelter, fuel, medicine, ceramics, flowers, cosmetics and color --everything needed for our survival. For most of the last ten thousand years we humans understood our intimate bond with dirt and the rest of nature. We took care of the soils that took care of us. But, over time, we lost that connection. We turned dirt into something "dirty." In doing so, we transform the skin of the earth into a hellish and dangerous landscape for all life on earth. A millennial shift in consciousness about the environment offers a beacon of hope - and practical solutions.

Herself

A fascinating look at how American agricultural policy and food culture developed in the 20th century, and how the California food movement rebelled against big agribusiness to launch the local organic food movement.

헤어조크, 구두를 먹다

Assistant Cook

헤어조크가 자신의 동료였던 에롤 모리스 감독에게 한 약속을 지키기 위해 정말로 구두를 먹는다. 이를테면 사람들은 자신이 먹을 수 있다고 생각하는 모든 것을 소화할 수 있는 위장을 갖고 있다는 사실을 증명하기 위해서. 이 영화의 다소 황당한 이런 행위는 헤어조크 자신이 영화촬영을 하면서 수없이 들었던 '광적이다'라는 표현에 대해 의지로서 무엇이든지 해낼 수 있다는 신념을 유머러스하게 빗대었다.
