Devour! The Food Film Fest just wrapped in Wolfville, and two films with Canadian roots took Honourable Mentions at this year’s Golden Tine Awards (RELEASE). Pirate Produce follows pastry prodigy Shane Harper, who lost his sight, balance, and sense of taste to illness and became the regenerative farmer supplying Restaurant Pearl Morissette, Canada’s No. 1 restaurant. Bite to Bite follows Cape Breton fisherman Captain Denis Cameron as he tracks his giant bluefin tuna all the way to Japan’s Tsukiji market. How to Feed a Dictator took Best Feature Documentary.
