Culinary Cinema is one of the Festival’s most popular signature events and a favorite for foodies and film lovers alike. Start your Sunday with breakfast bites and coffee before settling in for a cuisine-inspired film that sets the stage for what’s to come.

After the screening, the experience continues in the Fest Lounge with a lively tasting featuring dishes inspired by the film and created by some of San Diego’s talented chefs. Mix, mingle and spend the afternoon enjoying incredible food, wine, beer and cocktails in one of the Festival’s most fun and flavorful celebrations.

Great film. Incredible food. Good company. It’s the perfect recipe for Sunday Funday!
