Tables of Istanbul

Description

For all im/migrants longing for tastes of their homeland…

Tables of Istanbul captures the personal story of Zeynep Kılıç – a sociologist, immigrant, and passionate cook exploring food cultures in Istanbul (a.k.a. eating her way through the bustling city). The documentary investigates Turkish cuisine, Istanbul’s place within it, and food movements through conversations with chefs, restaurateurs, researchers, food writers, activists and families.

The documentary has been supported by generous grants from the Turkish Cultural Foundation, Institute of Turkish Studies, Fulbright Turkey, and the University of Alaska Anchorage Innovate and Faculty Development grants.
