Films On The Green film festival will be held June 1, 2018 to September 6, 2018 in parks of New York City and Fort Lee, New Jersey. The 12 films programmed this year will explore the relationship between French culture and gastronomy, a highly participated social norm.
Examples of films: from cuisine as an art (Le Grand Restaurant by Jacques Besnard, Haute Cuisine by Christian Vincent) and wine making as a traditional family savoir-faire (You Will Be My Son by Gilles LeGrand), to the meal as a social event (a family Christmas gathering in La Bûche by Danièle Thompson).
