"Two immigrant brothers (Stanley Tucci and Tony Shalhoub) run a small trattoria serving the finest of Italian regional cooking.

HomeGrown
Thursday, February 4
The Dervaes family grows over 6,000 pounds of produce on one
city lot in Pasadena, CA. Relying mainly on their own words, this

homeowners to cultivating their own urban “homestead.”
The Gleaners and I
Thursday, March 4
Follow Agnes Varda, grande dame of the French New Wave, on this
“wandering-road documentary” that explores those who insist on

or activism.
The Real Dirt on Farmer John
Thursday, April 1
The epic tale of a maverick Midwestern farmer who transforms his
farm amidst economic crisis and the difficulties of being different in
rural America. Brilliantly constructed from a lifetime of documentary
footage, this funny and haunting film heralds the renewal of the
Peterson family farm as a bastion of creative agriculture and one
of the U.S.ʼs largest CSA farms.
Julie and Julia
Thursday, May 6
Meryl Streep is Julia Child and Amy Adams is writer Julia Powell in
Nora Ephron's vivid and compelling story. Julia Child discovers her
