Slow Food in Canada co-chair Michael Howell and Slow Food Nova Scotia Board member Lia Rinaldo were on hand during the Berlin Film Festival’s tribute to the work of Alice Waters and Carlo Petrini last week in Berlin Germany. This was the opening event of the Culinary Cinema program at the Berlin Film Fest, organized by Thomas Struck, who late in 2014 attended Devour! The Food Film Fest in Wolfville NS, organized by Howell and Rinaldo annually. Devour was begun by Slow Food Nova Scotia in 2009 as the Slow Motion Food Film Fest.
Michael was able to chat with Petrini and Waters about their successes and extended invitations to Canada at a future date.
