Sunday, October 29, at Essex Resort & Spa - the last day of the Vermont International Film Festival. A first of its kind, a partnership between Québec and Vermont, celebrating the best of food from both regions and accompanied by films from Québec.
Burlington, Vt.: (September 20): The Vermont International Film Festival (VTIFF) is delighted to announce the first ever collaboration with the Québec Government Office in Boston and VTIFF with a focus on film and food. Eight top chefs from Vermont and Québec will be devising dishes and two tasting menus inspired by two films, and benefiting from the best of local produce of the two areas.
Lunch and dinner will be served, each meal accompanied by a film. The audience will have the benefit of a round table with the chefs at the end of the screening, with the opportunity to hear about what inspired them and to ask questions. Four renowned chefs from Québec will come to spend a couple of days with four equally renowned chefs from Vermont, sharing their culinary knowledge and cooking up a storm. Tickets can be purchased individually for lunch or dinner, or a Passport can be purchased for both.
Full details of the day and a link to purchase tickets can be accessed at https://VTIFF.org/events/FFF.
The Essex Resort & Spa is also offering a once-in-a-lifetime deal for ticket and pass buyers - a generous discount for overnight stays for any wishing to make a weekend of it.
“We are proud to be continuing our efforts to develop cultural exchanges with Québec; since 2021 with the launch of the Made Here Film Festival (more information about MHFF HERE), we have made concerted efforts to introduce our audience to the culture of our neighbors to the North, and to introduce the good people from Québec to the cultural riches of Vermont. Food, Film & Friendship this year is a first, and we hope to build on its success for the years to come.” ~Orly Yadin, Program Director, VTIFF
“This culinary collaboration is an example of the longstanding friendship that unites our two regions. Québec could not be prouder to have partnered with Vermont on Food, Film and Friendship and on many agritourism initiatives that celebrate our shared culture and heritage. It is thanks to events like this one that our local flavours can travel around the world! ~ Marie-Claude Francoeur, Québec Delegate to New England.”
