Food From Art to Science Based on a short story by Isak Dinesen, Babette’s Feast was the first Danish film to win the Academy Award® for Best Foreign Language Film and is considered a classic of the “food film” genre. A 19th century political refugee, Babette finds a home in an austere Danish village cooking for two elderly sisters. When Babette wins the lottery, she sets about repaying the sisters’ kindness with a feast. The film lovingly depicts the pleasures of food and the artistry of cooking. In Danish, Swedish, and French languages with English subtitles. (35mm presentation)
