SFGFF co-presents: EATING ALABAMA @ Roxie Theater7:15 PM – 8:45 PM
In search of a simpler life, a young couple returns home to Alabama where they set out to eat the way their grandparents did – locally and seasonally. But as they navigate the agro-industrial gastronomical complex, they soon realize that nearly everything about the food system has changed since farmers once populated their family histories. A thoughtful and often funny essay on community, the South and sustainability, EATING ALABAMA is a story about why food matters.EATING ALABAMA
Andrew Beck Grace, 2012, USA, 62 min.

SFGFF co-presents: BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!* @ Shattuck Cinema9:30 PM – 11:30 PM
Once upon a time, there was a documentary called BANANAS!* (SFGFF 2011) about conditions at a Dole-owned banana plantation in Nicaragua. But this is not that movie. This movie is about what happened after Dole decided it was going to squash BANANAS!* –by any means necessary. What follows is a story that’s both incredibly thrilling and deeply inspiring, as filmmaker Fredrik Gertten makes the decision to fight the Dole company… and document the whole thing, of course.BIG BOYS GONE BANANAS!*
Fredrik Gertten, 2012, Sweden, 88 min.

SFGFF co-presents: THE CHALLENGE OF VENICE @ Roxie Theater2:45 PM – 4:45 PM
The three Italian gems brought to DocFest by guest curator Mariana Melani are: THE CHALLENGE OF VENICE that reveals plans to save the world’s most glamorous, magical, sinking city; VINYLMANIA about Italy’s love of old-school record albums; and ONE DAY’S REMINDER, an experimental collage of images of a little town after all of its tourists leave for the season.THE CHALLENGE OF VENICE : Is Venice sinking? Global warming is causing an increase in the sea level and, in the meantime, the land in the lagoon is subsiding. Floods cause both immediate and long-term harm: a pair of Wellington boots may not be sufficient to move on foot and boats may not manage to pass under bridges. Most Venetians are placing their hopes on the Modulo Sperimentale Elettromeccanico, an experimental project in the final stages of construction.
