Enjoy two acclaimed documentary films: "The Best Chef in the World," and "Biggest Little Farm: The Return."
About "The Best Chef in the World": The French Laundry, run by legendary chef Thomas Keller, has often been recognized as the best restaurant in the world, but few know the story of its original founder, Sally Schmitt.
"Sally died on March 5, 2022. But in the short documentary above, explains Director, Ben Proudfoot, "she shares with delightfully coy candor a message about the rewards of balance and the trap of ambition. I made this film for all of us who struggle “to stir and taste the soup” that already sits in front of us." Q&A after the film with Karen Schmitt Bates and Tim Bates.
About the "Biggest Little Farm: The Return":
“The Biggest Little Farm: The Return,” from National Geographic, is based on the 2018 award-winning feature documentary film that tells the story of John and Molly Chester, who abandon their urban life in Los Angeles to live on a barren farm to grow delicious food in harmony with nature in Ventura County.
Culinary treats will be created by Stephen Barber, Executive Chef at Farmstead - Long Meadow Ranch. Wine and beer will be available for purchase at the concession stand.
CinemaBites supports St. Helena Farmers' Market. Tickets $35/person.
