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 Haute Cuisine (2012)​ will be screening today. Could it get higher than cooking for the French President at the Palais de l'Elysée? Inspired by Danièle Delpeuch’s historic appointment as personal chef to François Mitterrand, the film is all about food and internecine conflicts that threaten to spoil the broth, the truffles, stuffed cabbage, Rochefort jonchée and St. Honoré cake.

Registration is not required and these films are free and open to the public.
