Cornell Cinema presents* King Corn*, a humorous and lively introduction to the corn industrial complex
Director Aaron Woolf follows two college grads--Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis--as they head to Iowa to grow an acre of corn, and in the process explore the alternating hilarity and horrific reality of the crop that has changed America's diet in ways most people can't possibly imagine. "Neatly, and often humorously, summarizes a very unhealthy situation." (*SF Chronicle *) "The film's light hand, appealing style, and simple exposition make it an eminently watchable inquiry into the politics of food and public health, accessible to the documentary-shy and wildly appropriate for older kids, who may further respond to its generational emphasis." (*Austin Chronicle*) A 35mm film print will screen on* Thursday through Saturday, May 8 - 10, at 7:15pm each night, in Willard Straight Theatre.* More at kingcorn.net The screenings are cosponsored with the Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival.
