Penn’s Village Presents: Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011)
Philadelphia City Institute
Join Penn’s Village and the Free Library of Philadelphia for Penn’s Village Presents, a free film series at the Philadelphia City Institute Library. Discussion will follow each screening. On the second Mondays of the month (with the exception of October which will be held on the first Monday), we’ll explore the work of Orson Welles through a six-screening retrospective.
The film Jiro Dreams of Sushi (2011) will be screening today. Foodies familiar with Netflix’s ravishing Chef’s Table are familiar with David Gelb, that series’ creator. Years earlier, Gelb directed this beautiful documentary about sushi master Jiro Ono and his 10-seat restaurant in a Tokyo subway station. In 2015 Philadelphia Weekly’s Sean Burns described it as “a film about the pursuit of perfection. And the cost.”
Registration is not required and these films are free and open to the public.
