This year’s festival features three stages of music from five continents over two nights. To get audiences in the cultural mood, the festival has been teaming with the NHCC to present an International Cinema Series throughout September. The series comes to a close this week with three more films. On Thursday, Sept. 24, at 7pm, there will be a screening of the Spanish film Tasting Menu in the Bank of America Theater. This food-filled romantic comedy spends the night at one of the greatest restaurants in the world as patrons from around the world gather for one final dinner service before the doors shut for good. The film will be shown in Catalan with English subtitles. On Saturday, Sept. 26, you can catch the New Mexico premiere of Katie Curran’s award-winning documentary about the politics of the global food system, Greening the Revolution, starting at 11am.
