Fabulous Food on Film

Back by popular demand, our online 2-part film series led by Dr. William Costanzo returns this fall featuring Fabulous Food on Film.  In the realm of daily human life, food is more than simple nourishment. It is an art, a business, a cultural artifact, a marker of individual identity, and a medium of social interaction. A region’s cuisine can define its people and unite them. When food serves the purpose of communication, it can speak the many languages of comfort and love. In this film discussion series, we’ll explore how movies express a spectrum of emotions—friendship, brotherly affection, family ties, maternal love, and romance–through food. Each session will feature film clips from a range of movies in which food plays a central, savory role.

Dr. Costanzo is the SUNY Distinguished Professor of English & Film and the author of six books on writing and film.
