SUMMARY:Local Food Connection Hosts 'Modified' at The Gem
DESCRIPTION:'Modified' is a first-person feature documentary that questions why genetically modified organisms (GMOs) are not labeled on food products in the United States and Canada\, despite being labeled in 64 countries around the world. Shot over a span of ten years\, the film follows the ongoing struggle to label GMOs\, exposing the cozy relationship between the biotech industry and governments. The film is anchored in the intimate story of the filmmaker's relationship to her mom\, a prolific gardener\, seed saver\, and food activist who battled cancer while the film production was underway. Interweaving the personal and the political\, the film uses family archives\, animations\, and mouth-watering vignettes from the filmmaker's award-winning PBS cooking show to create a moving account of family legacy\, grassroots activism\, and the journey for a more sustainable and transparent food system.\n\n\n\nAube Giroux (writer\, director\, producer) is an award-winning documentary filmmaker\, organic gardener\, and food blogger. Aube is the creator of "Kitchen Vignettes"\, an online farm-to-table cooking show on PBS which received the 2012 Saveur Magazine Best Food Blog Award and is a two-time James Beard Award nominee. Aube holds an MFA in Film Production from York University. Modified is her first feature-length documentary.\n\n\n\nThere will be a potluck meal at 3:30pm in the lobby of The Gem. The film 'Modified' will show at 4:30pm and be followed by a discussion. Movie tickets for this event are $6 and may be purchased online or at the box office.
