Join Embodied Earth and Alison Siegel for a screening and discussion of Taste of the Land by Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee! Screening starts at 3pm.
Taste of the Land is part of the Shifting Landscapes documentary series, directed by Emmy- and Peabody-nominated filmmakers Adam Loften and Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee and presented by Emergence Magazine.
About Taste of the Land: “Since fleeing Cambodia with her family during the Khmer Rouge regime, documentary filmmaker Kalyanee Mam has spent much of her life searching for a rooted connection to place. This film traces her experiences becoming displaced from Cambodia; assimilating to life in Stockton, California, in her childhood; connecting to her origins through language and food; and telling stories through filmmaking of people who are suffering disconnection from land because of conflict, development, and industrialization. Taste of the Land ultimately follows her to the landscapes of Cambodia—which have been changing through deforestation and urbanization—where her tender documentation of the disappearing, relational ways of life that these places have held has led her deeper into spiritual relationship with her homeland.”
