Join us for a screening of Tableland, which espouses the virtues of the slow food movement. The
film will lead us to a larger discussion about the regionâs water, air and earth and the projects
that will affect those resources. Panelists will highlight both the grassroots and institutional
initiatives dedicated to preserving Long Islandâs environmental future and debate the pros
and cons of the construction projects, like the Lighthouse and Heartland projects, as well as
energy drives like wind farms. The forum will be moderated by Lawrence Levy, Exec. Director
of Hofstra Universityâs National Center for Suburban Studies. Panelists include Elizabeth
Wolff and Adam Koppels, of 18 Bay, a Bayville restaurant founded on Slow Food principles,
and Adrienne Esposito, Executive Director of Citizens Campaign for the Environment.
About the Film: Tableland is a culinary expedition in search of the people, place and taste of North American small-scale, sustainable food
production. Director Craig Noble argues for the re-localization of North American food systems, and a return to a fresher, healthier way of feeding
ourselves. From the orchards of BC, the inner city gardens of Chicago to the Napa Highlands and everywhere in between, Tableland showcases the
successful production of tasty, local, and seasonal food from field to plate. USA, 2008, 74 min.
