Calendar – Past Event

This year's films tell the stories of people as different as Montana cowboys herding sheep, classmates who grew up in the USSR searching for their places in Russia, and young men from Michigan transforming from restless teens to soldiers in the battlefields of Afghanistan.

The 2011 season opens with Chris Hegedus and DA Pennebaker's Kings of Pastry.

When Chris Hegedus and D A Pennebaker, award-winning filmmakers of The War Room, Startup.com and Don't Look Back, turn their sights on the competition for the Meilleurs Ouvriers de France, the country's Nobel Prize for pastry, you're in for a treat. In Kings of Pastry, 16 chefs, including Jacquy Pfeiffer, co-founder of Chicago's French Pastry School, whip up the most gorgeous, delectable, gravity-defying concoctions and edge-of-your-seat drama as they deliver their spun-sugar desserts to the display table. The inevitable disasters and successes prove both poignant and hilarious.
