About the event
As part of the programme for the World Food Photography Awards, sponsored by Tenderstem® Bimi® Broccolini, join the screening of A Love Supreme and Roast Pork, two short films exploring themes of food, family and memory followed by an in-conversation with the artists behind the works.
A Love Supreme
A Love Supreme is an audio-visual essay about the preparation of samosas and a tribute to the director’s mother. Shot on 35mm film, the short focuses on capturing her dexterous fingers on film following a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis.
Roast Pork
Roast Pork follows a UK-based Vietnamese family as they gather for dinner at their local Asian restaurant, capturing the contrast between generations. At the heart of the family is the grandmother, who endured the hardships of fleeing as a refugee. Now, as she watches the younger generation thrive, she navigates the vibrant, often chaotic, dynamics that come with their growth.
Cast are dressed in a blend of fashion brands from both London and Italian designers all influenced by Vietnamese culture.

Macy Trieu-Dingle is a London based short film Writer/Director with Vietnamese and Chinese heritage. In Roast Pork, Macy takes a raw and naturalistic view and combines this with her highly stylised and choreographed visuals to create an abstract glimpse at her experience as a 2nd generation family member.
