The International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) announced the winners of all its food media awards last night, and they’re a good lot to peruse if you’re looking to beef up your reading and cookbook libraries. There are big name winners (Modernist Cuisine), classics (The Art of Eating by M.F.K.Fisher) and local favorites (The Cakebread Cellars American Harvest Cookbook) too. [Eater National]
The making of Napoleon #2
by Admin on Apr.03, 2012, under San Francisco Cinemas/Movies
Here are three French magazine articles on the making of Napoleon. Not surprisingly, there was widespread interest in France in the making of the epic film. At the time, numerous articles ran in various French newspapers and magazines – including the country’s film journals – detailing the production.
The San Francisco Silent Film Festival is presenting Kevin Brownlow’s restoration of Abel Gance’s five-and-one-half hour Napoleon for four performances only on March 24, 25, 31 and April 1. This once in a generation cinematic event is set to take place in Oakland, California at the historic, art deco Oakland Paramount theater. Carl Davis will conduct the Oakland East Bay Symphony.
