March 25 (Thursday), 7pm: EAT DRINK MAN WOMAN (Ang Lee, 1994)

Introduced by Jen Lin-Liu (Black Sesame Kitchen, and author of Serve the People)

Free admission. Dumplings served after (vegetarian option will be available)

52 Oxford St, Northwest Bldg B103, just north of Harvard Sq. Cambridge (map)

Love, food, family, twists, turns, and surprises abound in Ang Lee's film about food and love in a Taiwanese family. The NYT's review is informative, as is the IMDB entry. (In Mandarin, with English subtitles.)

March 30 (Tuesday), 7pm: GARLIC IS AS GOOD AS TEN MOTHERS (Les Blank, 1980)

Introduced by Steve Johnson (Rendezvous Restaurant) 

Free admission. Aromatic refreshments provided.

Adams House ArtSpace ~ 10 Linden St, in Harvard Sq. Cambridge (map).

Bring your own seating (lawn chair, inner tube, yoga mat, etc.)

Follow award-winning filmmaker Les Blank's camera to the Gilroy Garlic Festival, the early Chez Panisse, and a visit with some flower children and a fiery gypsy—all celebrants of garlic. This film is a savory paean of praise to the Stinking Rose that, in 2004, was elevated to the National Film Registry (a rare honor for a documentary). For more information, see the film's own description and IMDB.
