James Beard: America's First Foodie (Documentary) August 10
Explore the life of the man who helped define how America eats. Long before farm-to-table became a trend, the renowned chef championed local ingredients, bold flavors and the Pacific Northwest’s fresh bounty. Dubbed the “Dean of American Cookery” by The New York Times, he reshaped the nation’s palate.
Through conversations with influential voices in food, this documentary reveals Beard’s lasting impact, including introducing Julia Child to New York. Told in menu-inspired chapters, the film looks at Beard’s deep bond with his mother, his love of markets, his courage to live openly as a gay man, and his enduring devotion to flavor, friendship and community.

Among Neighbors (Documentary) August 14
Combining magical realism and evocative hand-drawn animation with revelatory interviews and verité footage, "Among Neighbors" examines the story of a small, rural town where Jews and Polish Catholics lived side by side for centuries before World War II. The film brings the Polish response to the Holocaust to life through the last living eyewitnesses, revealing both love and betrayal as it zeroes in on one of the last living Holocaust survivors from the town, and an aging eyewitness who saw Jews murdered there — not by Nazis, but by her own Polish neighbors. Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Yoav Potash ("Crime After Crime," Sundance Film Festival).
