SUMMARY:Brazilian Screenings & Maria Farinha Films present A Table for All
DESCRIPTION:What if food waste could be transformed into gourmet meals for socially vulnerable communities? Renowned visionary chef Massimo Bottura\, founder of the world’s best restaurant\, brings together international culinary icons—such as Joan Roca\, Alain Ducasse\, and Virgilio Martí nez—to prove that food destined for the trash can become something far more meaningful. At the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games\, tons of surplus ingredients from the Olympic Village are reinvented at Refettorio Gastromotiva\, a groundbreaking soup kitchen where cooking becomes an act of care\, dignity\, and social change. This 53-minute documentary in Portuguese with English subtitles was directed by Kiko Ribeiro and Andre Finotti. The production company is Maria Farinha Films. View the trailer here.Curator’s notesTable for All documents a powerful initiative led by the Brazilian non-governmental organization Gastromotiva\, in partnership with the Food for Soul Foundation\, founded by Chef Massimo Bottura. Together\, these organizations work to provide nutritious\, high-quality food to people facing food insecurity. Grounded in a real-world project\, the film addresses one of the most urgent challenges of contemporary society: food waste in a world where millions of people lack reliable access to food. It also engages with broader themes such as urban agriculture\, reconnection with nature\, and the principles of the Slow Food movement. Through a creative\, deeply human approach\, the initiative invites us to rethink our relationship with food and restore dignity to individuals living in vulnerable conditions. \nRodrigo Torres\, a Brazilian film curator based in Southern California\, introduces each film to provide context and to enhance the audience’s understanding. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in cinema and an MFA in Visual Arts and began his career in the camera department on movie sets. Rodrigo worked as a curator and film programmer for the State Department of Culture at the renowned Cine Brasília movie theater. In partnership with the State Department of Education\, Rodrigo organized special screenings for students of all ages and served as the General Media Coordinator\, contributing to public policies for financing film productions and exhibitions. In California\, he worked at the Aquarius Theatre\, taught at Palo Alto Adult School (PAUSD)\, and currently serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Art at the University of California\, Santa Barbara. \nThe next Brazilian Screening is Saturday\, April 25.

SUMMARY:Documentary: UNAFF presents The Librarians
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of The Librarians\, which premiered at The Sundance Film Festival. Directed by Kim A Snyder\, who is also a producer\, and produced by Janique L Robillard and Maria Cuomo-Cole\, this 83-minute documentary examines new strictures on school librarians. Book banning was nothing new to the world\, but in October 2021\, Texas State Representative Matt Krause issued a list of 850 books for schools to review for obscene and race-related content\, urging officials to develop standards to ensure “pornography” and anything that may make students feel “discomfort\, guilt or anguish” be removed. As the culture wars rage\, parental rights groups dig in nationwide and pre-existing book review protocols are overturned by school boards across the country. A chilling effect sets in as book-banning crusaders become more coordinated and vulnerable librarians are targeted ferociously. View the trailer here. \nKim A Snyder’s most recent film\, Death by Numbers\, was Oscar-nominated for Best Short Documentary. Prior films include Us Kids\, Newtown\, Lessons from a School Shooting\, Welcome to Shelbyville\, I Remember Me and Trevor. Documentary filmmaker and creative producer Janique L Robillard’s recent producing credits include Death by Numbers and 1000 Time. Maria Cuomo Cole most recently produced the Academy Award-nominated documentary short film Death by Numbers\,   as well as The Librarians and  Us Kids\, all in collaboration with director/producer Kim A. Snyder. The film team also partnered on Lessons from a School Shooting: Notes from Dunblane and Newtown. She also produced The Hunting Ground. \nUnited Nations Association Film Festival presents documentaries on topical subjects. Jasmina Bojic\, Stanford lecturer and International Documentary Film Festival UNAFF founder and director\, facilitates discussions with filmmakers and producers. For more information\, please visit www.unaff.org. \nRegistration is not required\, but registering means you will receive an email reminder the day before. \nThis documentary is the first in a series of three for Silicon Valley Reads. Register for the following programs through the links below: \n\nThursday\, January 22: The Librarians\nThursday\, February 26: How to Build a Library\nWednesday\, March 4: Labors of Love: The Life and Legacy of Henrietta Szold
