Invitation to the Theater of LIfe

Massimo Bottura, widely regarded as one of the best chefs in the world, set up the Refettorio as a beautifully designed space offering 80 people a night the opportunity to dine with dignity.

How this high-profile initiative fared against the complex realities of homelessness and social inequality is explored through revealing interviews with the chefs and the diners, offering a candid exploration of the cultural, social and spiritual value of the nourishment we can offer one another.

BEYOND THE SCREEN:
The Grassmarket Community Project is one of Edinburgh’s network of voluntary agencies that together provide free meals daily for our most vulnerable and destitute citizens, much of this being from ‘surplus’ food. Join us before the screening to take part in this unique community dinner by booking the Meal & Film ticket. You are welcome to pay a donation which will go toward the Grassmarket Community Project or bring a dish along to the dinner (any dish much be vegetarian or unopened).

After the film we will explore responses to food poverty and social inequality, with guests including Ewan Aitken (Cyrenians), Mary Anne MacLeod (A Menu For Change), and Peter Kelly (The Poverty Alliance).

FREE (donations welcome)
