Immerse yourself in a festival that celebrates the intersection of culinary cinema and fine dining.
TASTEMAKERS FESTIVAL
Experience the artistry and passion of the culinary arts through a curated selection of films, complemented by exclusive dining events in partnership with the finest local restaurants, wine and cocktail bars, and farmers markets. TASTEMAKERS is a unique sensory journey that combines the cinematic and gastronomic arts into one of the most memorable experiences you’ll ever have.
Feature Films and Tasting Events
Tastemakers Festival provides a unique opportunity to transform the cinematic experience into a haven for food lovers and film enthusiasts. Audiences experience an immersive culinary journey featuring an array of iconic films that center around food before experiencing the dishes and wines featured on screen.
To that end, we partner with local fine dining restaurants and bars to host bespoke lunches, dinners, and on-site tastings that occur after the film screenings.
So, if you’ve ever wanted to try the Pot Au Feu or Carp Roe Omelette featured in The Taste of Things, the classic Boeuf Bourguignon from Julie & Julia, or a world-class omakase menu inspired by Jiro Dreams of Sushi, this is the perfect opportunity!
TASTEMAKERS is not just about creating an immersive experience for filmgoers — it’s also about building community among independent and repertory cinemas and the local businesses who benefit from the foot traffic they generate. In time, these events increase community connections, leading to more revenue for the theater and local businesses.
Example Culinary Films
The following are a few films featured during the TASTEMAKERS festival. The final selection of films is done in collaboration with the host cinema, and with input from local fine dining restaurants and bars.
