Comfort Food (Leytonstone Loves Film 2021)
Can food 'bring you home', especially at a time of travel restrictions? I spoke with Malina in Leyton, who moved to London from Romania aged 11, and Carlo at Italian restaurant Mora in Leytonstone, to hear their thoughts on the connections between food, society and identity. This is the result of a four-part online course within the Home Film Project and Leytonstone Loves Film, and it was screened at Leytonstone Library on 19 September 2021. Many thanks again to Malina, Carlo, the staff at Mora, Anji's Pharmacy, Mara and The Clock, and Ashton John at Home Film Project (http://homefilmproject.com).

Things I've been messing around with in the past 10+ years, from basic FinalCut/Premiere editing and 3D animation to homemade DVDs. Constructive feedback is most welcome!
