PORT TOWNSEND — Movie critic Robert Horton’s talk “A Feast on Film: How Food Becomes Art in the Movies” is the next program in the Clemente Eclectic Lectures series at 3 p.m. Sunday.
The talk will be in the Port Townsend High School auditorium, 1500 Van Ness St.
Horton will serve up clips from “Babette’s Feast,” “Eat Drink Man Woman” and “Big Night,” among other food-rich films, while savoring their cinematic meals — from an Italian repast to Charlie Chaplin’s boiled shoes.
Admission to the program is $15, with proceeds to benefit the Jefferson Clemente Course in the Humanities, which gives low-income students access to college-level classes in Port Townsend.
For low-income patrons, however, admission is by donation, while Clemente Course students and graduates are invited to attend free.
