Description

Celebrate the mouth-watering documentary THE TRUFFLE HUNTERS with an Italian-style grazing board and local wine at Luna Cinemas

Luna Cinemas Leederville and Sony Pictures take great delight in inviting you to join us on Sunday, Feb 21 Italian style, to view The Truffle Hunters with a European Foods graze board (while stocks last) while savouring a selection of our summer local hero wines at $10 a glass at the pop-up bar from 1.30 pm before the film starts at 2.00 pm.
 
Directed by Michael Dweck, this award-winning documentary trails a handful of men in Piedmont, seventy or eighty years young, hunting for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle—which to date has resisted all of modern science’s efforts at cultivation.  They’re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly trained dogs.  They live a simpler, slower way of life, in harmony with their loyal animals and their picture-perfect land, seemingly straight out of a fairy tale.  They’re untethered to cell phone screens or the Internet, opting instead to make their food and drink by hand and prioritizing in-person connections and community.

The demand for white truffles increases year after year, even as the supply decreases.  As a result of climate change, deforestation, and the lack of young people taking up the mantle, the truffle hunters’ secrets are more coveted than ever.  However, as it soon becomes clear, these ageing men may just hold something much more valuable than even this prized delicacy: the secret to a rich and meaningful life.
