Julie & Julia
Friday, October 21
8:00 – 10:00 p.m.
Discovery Cinema
Rated PG (general viewing but some language may offend).
In 1949, the wife of a diplomat, Julia Child (Meryl Streep), is in Paris, wondering how to spend her days. Through cooking lessons at the Cordon Bleu, she discovers her passion. In 2002, Julie Powell (Amy Adams), decides to cook her way through “Mastering the Art of French Cooking” in a year and blog about it. We go back and forth between the stories of two women learning to cook and finding success.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with the “International Cooking with KAUST” cookbook project leaders Philippa Arkley and Melanie Balkner-Zielke.
Ratatouille
Saturday, October 22
4:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Discovery Cinema
Rated PG (general viewing but some scenes may be unsuitable for young children).
“Ratatouille” is a hilariously aberrant animation production that tells the story of a rat named Remy who dreams of becoming a great French chef. Despite the apparent dangers of being an unwanted visitor in the kitchen of a fine French restaurant, Remy’s passion for cooking soon sets in motion a hilarious and exciting rat race that turns the culinary world of Paris upside down.
The screening will be followed by a discussion with Tamimi Diner executive chef Dawood Bin AyoobDowlet.
Refreshments will be served prior to both movies.
