BITE-SIZED: A SHORT FILMS SHOWCASE (11:00am-12:50pm)
This free event, coinciding with the Indoor Public Market, brings together powerful stories where food becomes a lens into community, culture, and resilience. From a haunting meditation on industrial farming, to the public film premiere celebrating our local food co-op’s 50th anniversary, to intimate looks at honey production and grassroots food justice, this cinematic tasting menu celebrates the connections that bring us together around the table. Filmmakers Jonathan Ramos and Jon Steinman in attendance.
