When Waters’ famous Berkeley restaurant Chez Panisse celebrated its 40th anniversary a few years back, Chiang paid tribute to their decades-long friendship by preparing a traditional Chinese banquet, which was captured on film by Wayne Wang (\u003cem>The Joy Luck Club\u003c/em>, \u003cem>Chan Is Missing\u003c/em>).

We will never understand the influence of pioneers like Chiang. We cannot know the world as it was before them, but must be careful to remember their efforts as we enjoy the fruits of their labor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is interesting to consider how changes in thinking about food magnify, ripple and ultimately modify the culture. Food is so basic to identity, which is why the Center for Asian American Media (\u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAM\u003c/a>) began its CAAMFeast a couple years back. \u003ca href=\"http://caamedia.org/caamfeast-awards-stories-food-you/\" target=\"_blank\">CAAMFeast\u003c/a> celebrates “the ways cultural memory and storytelling are passed down through food.” I thought it intriguing that the Center for Asian American \u003cem>Media\u003c/em> was spotlighting chefs instead of filmmakers and asked Debbie Ng, CAAM’s Development and Communications Director about the connection between food and media. Ng replied, “As a cultural institution, we have always told stories about bridging and bonding — and food is a primary vehicle for that.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Indeed, the CAAMFeast, a multimedia event honoring 96-year-old Cecilia Sun Yun Chiang, along with internationally renowned chef and entrepreneur George Chen (Betelnut, LongLife Noodle Company) — who started out as a waiter at The Mandarin, by the way — and chef Brandon Jew (Bar Agricole, Mister Jiu’s) for their contributions to Asian American culinary achievement, is a huge celebration that leads directly into CAAMFest, the 34th annual celebration of Asian American film, music and food. The festival is truly a BEAST, with 11 days of film screenings, music events, panel discussions and social gatherings in multiple venues all around the Bay. This post would quickly become unwieldy should I attempt to cover the breadth of CAAMFest’s ambitions (the festival screens 123 films from around 20 countries).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/WX4C6jr_mmA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theme connecting culture and cuisine is on vivid display in the film festival’s presentation of \u003cem>Family Ingredients\u003c/em>, an engaging cooking-travelogue-history show exploring the traditions behind popular Hawaiian dishes with celebrity chef Ed Kenney. The two episodes featured in the festival are a sneak peek at a series that has already won an Emmy for its pilot episode and will begin airing in earnest on PBS this July. The first episode begins with Kenney's personal relationship to poi, a staple made from taro root that is often the first solid food Hawaiian children are fed. Kenney reveals the many permutations of poi, visiting a farm that raises heirloom varieties, a community center that celebrates the making of poi as a communal practice, and profiling a couple of chefs engaged in expanding the vocabulary of the dish (poi pie, poi hummus, poi cheese). The second episode begins with \u003cem>pipikaula\u003c/em> (salted dried beef) and ends up tracing the history of the \u003cem>paniolo\u003c/em> (Hawaiian cowboys) back in time to the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/Q4MIdOj98EA\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A featured documentary, \u003cem>Kampai: For the Love of Sake\u003c/em>, follows three sake connoisseurs on a trip through Japanese culture toward a better understanding of the present-day sake industry. \u003cem>Kampai\u003c/em> (Japanese of ‘cheers’) is one of those lush, multi-layered journey films — a gorgeously photographed and lovingly constructed portrait of three men and the passion for sake that almost fatefully unites them. How did a young, seemingly aimless engineering student from Cleveland, OH become an international sake evangelist? How did the scion of a sake company go from avoiding the family business to revolutionizing it? How did a rural Brit become one of Japan’s most respected sake makers? These questions get answered over the course of the documentary, but as they do another arises: Do you choose your path or does your path choose you? Meanwhile, how is sake made? We get to see the process in glorious detail. Make a reservation at a local sake spot; you will want to experience the drink's many complexities when this film comes to an end. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_107173\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png\" alt=\"Still from Noodle Deli\" width=\"640\" height=\"324\" class=\"size-large wp-image-107173\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1440x728.png 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-400x202.png 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-800x404.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-768x388.png 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-1180x596.png 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/02/Noodle-Deli-Photo-1-960x485.png 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still from Noodle Deli\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Two shorts, \u003cem>Noodle Deli\u003c/em> and \u003cem>Donut Shop\u003c/em> offer loving profiles of immigrant entrepreneurs.

How did the scion of a sake company go from avoiding the family business to revolutionizing it? How did a rural Brit become one of Japan’s most respected sake makers?

This is a rookie mistake, as any parent who has made it through the raising of teenagers can probably attest. In Ang Lee’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119349/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>The Ice Storm\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, which takes place in 1970’s upper-middle-class Connecticut, adult moral confusion (see ‘\u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_sex#Key_party\" target=\"_blank\">key party\u003c/a>’ on Wikipedia) collides with early teenage sexual exploration. Kevin Kline and Joan Allen play parents Ben and Elena Hood to Tobey McGuire (Paul) and a 15-year-old Christina Ricci (Wendy). At the vaunted Thanksgiving table, Ben makes the grievous error and Wendy delivers the thanks that ends up as “no thanks.” (By the way, \u003cem>The Ice Storm\u003c/em> is a perfect movie, holiday or no, if you prefer your WASPS cold and confused.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/4uDUNAPdYb4\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesson Two:\u003c/strong> The one who spends the most time prepping the dinner will be the most disappointed, or may reap the highest emotional reward. Both are true in Peter Hedges’ \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0311648/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Pieces of April\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, in which April, an estranged daughter played by pre-Cruise Katie Holmes, volunteers to make Thanksgiving dinner for a family that clearly cannot stand her. Holmes and her boyfriend live in a low-rent, five-floor walk-up somewhere in pre-Disneyfied Manhattan. April wakes up Thanksgiving morning and begins making a meal not one viewer will want to eat. Once her boyfriend leaves the apartment, Holmes discovers, after removing shoes and other items from the cavity, that her oven doesn’t work. Her quest for the rest of the film is to 1) introduce herself to her neighbors and 2) borrow space in a warm oven long enough to cook a turkey. While April busies herself with this task, her family begrudgingly makes the journey into the city from the suburbs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/p4_nmB7PsOo\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lesson Three:\u003c/strong> The more uptight you are, the more likely you will end up with food all over your perfect dress. Jodie Foster’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0113321/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>Home for the Holidays\u003c/em>\u003c/a> was made in 1995 well before gay marriage went mainstream, so there is a character and a plot line that might seem a bit dated, but was lovingly wrought when the film first came out. The cast is great, featuring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr. and Cynthia Stevenson as siblings Claudia, Tommy and Joanne Larson. After a quick series of surprises and setbacks in Chicago, Claudia boards a plane and heads home to Baltimore for the holiday with parents Adele and Henry (Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning). On the plane she makes a distress call to gay brother Tommy, who arrives with Leo Fish (Dylan McDermott at his most dreamy) in tow. The family home is pure chaos, TV on, music playing, mom and dad dancing, mom smoking Virginia Slims, inappropriate kissing. Competing turkeys (one organic) crowd the holiday table. Hijinks ensue that end when — spoiler alert — high-strung, homophobic sister Joanne gets a non-organic turkey in the lap. In the movies, this is the punishment for being uptight, followed by uncomfortable and infuriatingly unapologetic laughter. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/egWFWloosog\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, this filmic lesson ends with the understanding that the more we expect, the less we are likely to get. It’s the holiday season; control is an illusion. It’s not about cooking or eating. Whatever preparations you made, remind yourself that you made them with love. What Thanksgiving is all about, at least according to the movies, is breathing and getting through. We’ve really got to be thankful for whoever and whatever comes our way.\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"If you think of film as a reflection of real life, then the fact that Thanksgiving meals in holiday movies often end in disaster should come as no surprise.

Holmes and her boyfriend live in a low-rent, five-floor walk-up somewhere in pre-Disneyfied Manhattan. April wakes up Thanksgiving morning and begins making a meal not one viewer will want to eat. Once her boyfriend leaves the apartment, Holmes discovers, after removing shoes and other items from the cavity, that her oven doesn’t work. Her quest for the rest of the film is to 1) introduce herself to her neighbors and 2) borrow space in a warm oven long enough to cook a turkey.

The cast is great, featuring Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr. and Cynthia Stevenson as siblings Claudia, Tommy and Joanne Larson. After a quick series of surprises and setbacks in Chicago, Claudia boards a plane and heads home to Baltimore for the holiday with parents Adele and Henry (Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning). On the plane she makes a distress call to gay brother Tommy, who arrives with Leo Fish (Dylan McDermott at his most dreamy) in tow. The family home is pure chaos, TV on, music playing, mom and dad dancing, mom smoking Virginia Slims, inappropriate kissing. Competing turkeys (one organic) crowd the holiday table. Hijinks ensue that end when — spoiler alert — high-strung, homophobic sister Joanne gets a non-organic turkey in the lap. In the movies, this is the punishment for being uptight, followed by uncomfortable and infuriatingly unapologetic laughter. \u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/egWFWloosog'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/egWFWloosog'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, this filmic lesson ends with the understanding that the more we expect, the less we are likely to get.

(\u003cem>El Somni\u003c/em> screens Saturday at 7pm.) “The Dream” in question is a \"12-course opera, a 12-act banquet\" prepared and performed for a lucky group of 12 participants who dine at a round table, which doubles as a video screen and is surrounded by three more. The documentary follows the event’s creators, including director Franc Aleu and the Roca Brothers, proprietors of El Celler de Can Roca (a restaurant in Girona, Spain, that has received three Michelin stars and was named best restaurant in the world by English Restaurant Magazine in 2013), alongside 40 visual, gastronomic and performing artists, as they conceive and prepare a sensual feast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on we see vivid details of the event's conceptualization. Each of the Rocas struggles to explain the ideas and emotions they want to explore within the flavors of the food. One asks, \"How does the moon taste?\" And the answer has something to do with ashes and truffles. Another talks about Indian spices and peppers growing in adjacent fields and thinks about the sensual harmony of color, smell and taste within a holistic environment. A third ponders the origins of life in the depths of the sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dancers are motion-captured and turned into statues that crumble under the weight of overwrought emotions.

Other participants struggle to translate what they are feeling into words. Words fail, but overall, the film is a phantasmagoria of delicious decadence, a vision of a European art elite in pursuit of a total art experience.

Local filmmaker, Michael Schwarz's \u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em>, based on Michael Pollan's book of the same name, demonstrates how completely the American commercial food system has gone off the rails. (\u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em> screens Saturday at 4pm.) It's a portrait of practices and policies that have created cheap foods that lack basic nutritional value, which Pollan calls \"edible food-like substances.\" They inhabit the center sections of every supermarket and take up most of the shelf space. They come in brightly colored packages that proclaim their virtues or point out proudly what vices they lack. Pollan calls them overabundant evidence of \"nutrionalism,\" a non-holistic ideology that breaks food into its constituent parts and proclaims some elements good and others bad. We are always (in the U.S. at least) in the midst of some fad or another that tells us that fat, gluten or some other element is bad, while this month, fiber or antioxidants are in! Food manufacturers go out of their way to remove the offending materials and add those that everyone wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically, Pollan says, these packaged foods generate the problems they are also attempting to solve. He says, \"The quieter foods are most likely much healthier,\" meaning, in terms of nutrition, the ones in the packages have much less to offer than they claim and the ones outside of packages speak (softly) for themselves. Pollan’s slogan is, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/135709265\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's great about \u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em> is that it's NOT DEPRESSING!!! It's a really informative journey through the history of our current commercial food system, exploring the reasons many situations as they currently stand came into being in the first place. Evolutionarily, one can see how the system developed, but also how it grew out of control. There were reasons in the past to want to produce cheap food, most specifically in reaction to the starvation and deprivation suffered during the Great Depression. However, those systems have gone out of whack and it's time for a rebalance. We are in a new era where scarce resources can hardly be wasted on the production of foods that cost less (because government subsidized) and are less healthy (because stripped of nutritional value) and end up causing harm (and thereby cost more in medical fees). The whole situation would seem inexplicable if Pollan weren’t such a sensible guide. And the film is illustrated by Maira Kalman, so it's great to look at as well. (Director Michael Schwarz will be at the screening.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, there is a free screening of shorts Saturday, 11am at the Exploratorium, which includes a screening of Susan Rockefeller’s \u003cem>Food for Thought, Food for Life\u003c/em>.

(\u003cem>El Somni\u003c/em> screens Saturday at 7pm.) “The Dream” in question is a \"12-course opera, a 12-act banquet\" prepared and performed for a lucky group of 12 participants who dine at a round table, which doubles as a video screen and is surrounded by three more. The documentary follows the event’s creators, including director Franc Aleu and the Roca Brothers, proprietors of El Celler de Can Roca (a restaurant in Girona, Spain, that has received three Michelin stars and was named best restaurant in the world by English Restaurant Magazine in 2013), alongside 40 visual, gastronomic and performing artists, as they conceive and prepare a sensual feast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early on we see vivid details of the event's conceptualization. Each of the Rocas struggles to explain the ideas and emotions they want to explore within the flavors of the food. One asks, \"How does the moon taste?\" And the answer has something to do with ashes and truffles. Another talks about Indian spices and peppers growing in adjacent fields and thinks about the sensual harmony of color, smell and taste within a holistic environment. A third ponders the origins of life in the depths of the sea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dancers are motion-captured and turned into statues that crumble under the weight of overwrought emotions. A musician-engineer constructs a robotic string quintet. Metal workers create delicate silver coral serving dishes.

Other participants struggle to translate what they are feeling into words. Words fail, but overall, the film is a phantasmagoria of delicious decadence, a vision of a European art elite in pursuit of a total art experience.

Local filmmaker, Michael Schwarz's \u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em>, based on Michael Pollan's book of the same name, demonstrates how completely the American commercial food system has gone off the rails. (\u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em> screens Saturday at 4pm.) It's a portrait of practices and policies that have created cheap foods that lack basic nutritional value, which Pollan calls \"edible food-like substances.\" They inhabit the center sections of every supermarket and take up most of the shelf space. They come in brightly colored packages that proclaim their virtues or point out proudly what vices they lack. Pollan calls them overabundant evidence of \"nutrionalism,\" a non-holistic ideology that breaks food into its constituent parts and proclaims some elements good and others bad. We are always (in the U.S. at least) in the midst of some fad or another that tells us that fat, gluten or some other element is bad, while this month, fiber or antioxidants are in! Food manufacturers go out of their way to remove the offending materials and add those that everyone wants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Basically, Pollan says, these packaged foods generate the problems they are also attempting to solve. He says, \"The quieter foods are most likely much healthier,\" meaning, in terms of nutrition, the ones in the packages have much less to offer than they claim and the ones outside of packages speak (softly) for themselves. Pollan’s slogan is, “Eat food, not too much, mostly plants.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://player.vimeo.com/video/135709265\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen>\u003c/iframe> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What's great about \u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em> is that it's NOT DEPRESSING!!! It's a really informative journey through the history of our current commercial food system, exploring the reasons many situations as they currently stand came into being in the first place. Evolutionarily, one can see how the system developed, but also how it grew out of control. There were reasons in the past to want to produce cheap food, most specifically in reaction to the starvation and deprivation suffered during the Great Depression. However, those systems have gone out of whack and it's time for a rebalance. We are in a new era where scarce resources can hardly be wasted on the production of foods that cost less (because government subsidized) and are less healthy (because stripped of nutritional value) and end up causing harm (and thereby cost more in medical fees). The whole situation would seem inexplicable if Pollan weren’t such a sensible guide. And the film is illustrated by Maira Kalman, so it's great to look at as well. (Director Michael Schwarz will be at the screening.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, there is a free screening of shorts Saturday, 11am at the Exploratorium, which includes a screening of Susan Rockefeller’s \u003cem>Food for Thought, Food for Life\u003c/em>. Covering much the same territory as \u003cem>In Defense of Food\u003c/em>, and with a similar effervescent zip, Rockefeller’s 22-minute short is almost an executive summary of the ideas explored in depth in Schwarz’s 2-hour doc. \u003cem>Food for Thought, Food for Life\u003c/em> is, however, a bite-sized primer that could and should be seen by everyone who cares about food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking of caring, this much food imagery will inevitably make your stomach growl.
