Pier, a former top chef with a Michelin star, returns to his beloved hometown, Turin, after several years of absence. While trying to regain his life and mend the broken bond with his teenage daughter, Anna, he meets a tramp who introduces him to a new way of life, living freely and taking advantage of grocery store food waste to feed himself. Together, they will transform unloved foods into true masterpieces.
Umberto Spinazzola is no stranger to fine food - he has been the director of the cult TV show MasterChef Italia. His new film, I Will Not Starve, is an ode to Italian cuisine and an outcry against food waste.
Filmography: L'ultimo crodino (2010), Cous Cous (1996).
After the screening of the film, there will be a conversation between the designer and artist Nitsan Mayost and the food journalist, TV host, and cook Hila Alpert. Following the discussion, a tasting menu meal will be held.
Letters to Ofer
A conversation with Nitsan Mayost, the designer and artist whose work, "Letters to Ofer," is currently exhibited at the Food exhibition in the Design Museum in Holon. This ongoing project revolves around dozens of letters written by Mayost to the CEO of the Shufersal supermarket chain at the time. In these letters, he drew attention to the daily surplus of tons of fresh food.
The series of unanswered letters highlighted the unbearable ease of food waste and the bitter-salty taste of an overly abundant kitchen, where wasteful capitalism plays the role of the main chef. The definition of expiration, working in favor of huge corporations, primarily threatens to accelerate climatic and social catastrophes.
