What's on Your Plate?

Thursday June 25, 2009

The sun is *supposed* to be shining this Saturday, so I've been looking for outdoor weekend activities, and this event caught my attention: It's a free movie screening in Fort Greene Park that's part of BAMcinemaFEST and the Afro-Punk Festival. The movie, called "What's on Your Plate," is a look at how the things we eat actually make it to our tables.

Here's a description from the BAM website: "Through the eyes of two intelligent and inquisitive eleven-year-old girls from New York City, we follow the many paths, the conflicting economics, and the disparate decision makers who all play a part in what we eat. Ideal for families to watch together, the film presents a variety of perspectives on how food reaches our urban community and its associated challenges."

The movie will be shown at 8:30pm in the park, with live music starting at 6pm.

Check out Coney Island’s “Flea by the Sea” on Stillwell Avenue behind Nathan’s. It took a while to pull it together but it was really busy today with lots of vendors and many, many shoppers. Please add this to your “Things to Do this weekend” list.
