Remy dreams of becoming a great French chef despite his family’s wishes and the obvious problem of being a rat. When fate places Remy in the sewers of Paris, he finds himself ideally situated beneath a restaurant made famous by his culinary hero, Auguste Gusteau. As Remy’s passion for cooking simmers, and with a bit of help from his pal Linguini, the pair soon turn the culinary world of Paris upside down. Dinner is served…

FOOD ON FILM: IN FOUR SEASONS

Spring // working together

In the spring season, we will be looking at working together to make, grow, buy and campaign about food. We start with the family favourite RATATOUILLE (14th-16th April) which sees an enterprising rat who has a passion for cooking learn the value of collaboration as he goes on a journey to become a top Paris chef with the help of friends and family.

We then move to the UK to look into the role of community mutual aid groups in getting food to people during the pandemic with the documentary FROM BELOW (18th April).

We finish by exploring how English farmers are working together through the Landworkers’ Alliance and the international food sovereignty movement to foster agricultural practices based on working more closely with nature through the documentary IN OUR HANDS (25th April).

Both documentaries will be accompanied by panel discussions with food growers, community groups and researchers. There will also be the opportunity to get hands on with a pickling workshop from JarSquad (25th April) and a site visit to Exeter Growers Co-operative.
