Join us as a part of 2024 Fungus Fest programming for a screening of 'First We Eat', a documentary following a family of five in Canada’s far north as they live for one year off of food that can be hunted, fished, gathered, grown or raised.

Putting food security to the test in the far North of Canada - filmmaker Suzanne Crocker, living just 300 km from the Arctic Circle, removes absolutely all grocery store food from her house. For one year, she feeds her family of five, only food that can be hunted, fished, gathered, grown or raised around Dawson City, Yukon. Add three skeptical teenagers, one reluctant husband, no salt, no caffeine, no sugar and -40 temperatures. Ultimately the story becomes a celebration of community and the surprising bounty of food that even a tiny community in the far North can provide. After all, "First we eat, then we do everything else." - MFK Fisher. —Suzanne Crocker

We will also be showing two short films about Fungus to open the evening: 'Those Wild Mushrooms' - NFB Short, and 'Up Close: Mushrooms' - Fox & Bee
