FOOD ON FILM FESTIVAL presents:
Big Night
The inaugural Food on Film Festival is a day-long celebration of film, food, and community. Food is a cornerstone of how we build and and sustain community and is often a critical element in films.
In Big Night, Stanley Tucci (Secondo) and Tony Shalub (Primo) star as two Italian immigrant brothers in 1950s America who open their dream restaurant, Paradise, in New Jersey. However, Primo's authentic food is too unfamiliar for the local tastes, and the restaurant is struggling. When famous Italian-American bandleader Louis Prima is scheduled to appear at Paradise, the two brothers put all of their efforts into the important meal, which will likely decide the fate of their restaurant.
Preceded at 6:30 PM by "Happy Hour Gramophone Concert” by DJ GrampaPhone spinning music inspired by Big Night on his 1906 gramophone. FREE WINE, while supplies last!
