On a wet, wet Saturday morning we went along to Edinburgh Farmers’ Market to thank East Coast Organics for donating vegetables to add taste, colour and texture to the FEAST filming session.
Despite heavy rain bouncing off the roof, the guys on the stall were amazingly cheerful and people were queuing up to buy purple beetroots, yellow gourds, green beans and all the other healthy stuff they grow on an organic farm near Pencaitland in East Lothian. Every Saturday they are here from around 8.30 am whatever the weather but for the first time anyone could remember the boss, Mike Callender, was away on holiday catching some sun. (more…)

Chillies for the FEAST filming session were donated by Trees Can’t Dance as they began to gather this year’s harvest from their two acre site in Northumberland.
Of all places! Against expectations chillies from some of the hottest places on the planet are thriving on a windy hillside in the North Pennines. Between July and December crops with names like Thai Dragon, Korean Hot and Prairie Fire emerge from heated polytunnels to be turned into sauces, oils and ketchups for an increasingly discerning food market.

Thursday, August 9 and the sun shines on Castle Street. With just three weeks to go, Kimho Ip and FOUND visit The Eating Place to plan how to screen the film of the FEAST while the band plays music inspired by the sounds of preparing and cooking Dim Sum. The challenge is to find a way of projecting the film in broad daylight.
Plan A, is to use a white van as a screen (thanks to ECCM for offering the white van!).
Plan B is to hire a plasma telly. Or two.
We’ll keep you posted.
