Summary
With global food shortages on the horizon, forward-thinking chefs, environmentalists and food scientists are turning toward an unexpected source of protein: insects. BUGS is an artful and thoughtful new documentary that provides a perfect entry point to insect cuisine. For three years, a cast of charming and brave food adventurers from the Nordic Food Lab traveled the world - from Europe to Australia, Mexico, Kenya, Japan and beyond - to learn what some of the two billion people who already eat insects had to say. Filmmaker Andreas Johnsen followed them as they foraged, farmed, cooked and tasted everything from revered termite queens and desert-delicacy honey ants to venomous giant hornets and long-horned grasshoppers. Throughout the team's experiences, some hard questions started to emerge. If industrially produced insects become the norm, will they be as delicious and as beneficial as the ones in diverse, resilient ecosystems and cuisines around the world? And who will actually benefit as edible insects are scaled up? Equal parts travelogue, nature documentary, food porn and political treatise, BUGS is a beautifully shot film that makes a convincing argument for the inherent flavor of insects and raises unexpected and important questions about the future of our food culture along the way.

Summary
David Kinch of Manresa Restaurant is a world famous chef with a new project, aiming to create a two-star Michelin dining experience that reflects the Northern Californian culture he loves. Cynthia Sandberg of Love Apple Farms is a farmer who has dedicated her life to creating sustainably produced and impeccably nurtured ingredients. Will the collaboration between these two food geniuses create a world-class restaurant, or will their differences destroy both the farmer and the chef? The Farmer & The Chef follows this ambitious pair as they work together to make the perfect biodynamic meal. It delves into their shared passion for sustainable farming and quality product, showing their return to the old values of farm-grown produce while never shying away from the latest techniques. The film provides excellent examples of how farms and restaurants do business, following Cynthia's move from a 2-acre garden to an 80-acre farm with over 300 products to keep up with Chef Kinch as he increases his cooking ten-fold. The documentary details the in-depth interdependence of farms and restaurants, and, above all, emphasizes the respectful relationship between the chef, the farmer, and the land they both depend on for survival.

Summary
California -- always a fascinating marriage of opposite extremes -- is at a cross-roads in agriculture. Many Californians are struggling to fend off overdevelopment and the loss of farming lands and traditions while embracing innovative visions of agricultural sustainability. At the same time, California is where fast food was born and a center of the biotechnology industry and large corporate agribusiness. The debates raging in California over issues of food, agriculture, and sustainability have profound implications for all of America, especially in a world where scarcity is the norm and many natural resources are diminishing. This fascinating documentary explores the intersection of food and politics in California over the last 30 years. It illuminates the complex forces struggling for control of the future of California's agriculture, and provides provocative commentary by a wide array of eloquent farmers, prominent chefs, and noted authors and scientists.
