Foodies and film buffs alike, be sure and save the date – Sunday, Oct. 3 – for the Fourth Annual Reel Food Film Festival, the oldest and largest festival of its kind in all of California. We not only screen the best short movies about food, cooking, and eating submitted by filmmakers from all over the world, we provide a sumptuous array of foods before the program begins, along with live music in one of Modesto’s most anticipated social events of the year! This year’s event will feature appetizers courtesy of our primary sponsors, the California Poultry Federation, and select cheeses from California’s finest cheese makers. During the intermission, guests will have an opportunity to win fabulous prizes in a random drawing. For updates on film titles, which will be posted once they are selected, please check our site often. There will also be surprises in store for this year’s event, in addition to a parting gift for attendees. With last year’s write-ups in Food, Inc. and Via magazines, and the attention the event is drawing this year, we’re expecting a bigger crowd than ever so we recommend purchasing tickets in advance.

In Search of The Heart of Chocolate - http://www.chocumentary.com/
