This March, SBS On Demand and the Melbourne International Film Festival (MIFF) are serving up a delicious selection of food documentaries via our online pop-up film festival, Feast on Film.
The special season includes 10 award-winning documentaries, a trio of Michel Roux Jr. docos, plus special content from the most recent MIFF.
Wondering what you can expect? In Good Things Await, meet the Danish farmer who provides biodynamic produce to world-famous restaurant NOMA. In Kings of Pastry, watch 16 of the world’s top French pastry chefs mix, pipe and sculpt their way through the prestigious Meillueurs Ouvriers de France competition (Best Craftsman in France). Then in Slow Food Story, meet the Italian man behind the revolutionary Slow Food movement which now has roots in more than 150 countries.
If it's Michelin-starred movie action you're after, we've got plenty of that, too. In El Bulli: Cooking in Progress, explore the Barcelona-based cooking laboratory behind Ferran Adrià's highly acclaimed restaurant, or follow Spanish chef Dani García as he puts his reputation and restaurant on the line in Deconstructing Dani García.
Our festival hub is also home to three one-hour documentaries hosted by chef and French food-lover Michel Roux Jr. (Read our interview with him here.)
Adding to the film festival experience is online video content from the MIFF's Talking Pictures panel Foodie-ism: Are we full up? Guests include chef Shane Delia (find recipes and videos from his latest series Shane Delia's Moorish Spice Journey here), along with Gelato Messina’s Declan Lee, Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic Jonathan Gold, Kate McLennan from The Katering Show (ICYMI, this Youtube series is hilarious!) and food blogger Emily Naismith.
And the cherry on top? Our online film festival is streaming for free all month so you can binge to your heart’s content!
