Last year, for the first time, the Vermont International Film Festival was organized thematically — and one of those themes was food. It was intended to be a one-time special, but, says executive director Orly Yadin with a laugh, “I can’t keep away from food. It was really successful and we got really good feedback. This year, we found enough good films to try it again.”
Yadin says that while the seven food-themed movies are all superficially focused on eating, their subject matters range from history to politics to ethnography.
