Enjoy A Night Of Sensory Cinema With Brian Skinner & The Fantastic Mr. Fox

 

On January 30th, Here There Studio teams up with Chef Brian Skinner for an evening of food and cocktails inspired by special moments in the Wes Anderson classic, The Fantastic Mr. Fox. Watch the promo video above…

Not that the antics of Mr. Fox and his team aren’t ample entertainment on their own, but this screening amps it up by adding taste, touch and smell, making it a next level immersive cinematic experience.

Food pairings are being kept under wraps for now, but we wrangled a bit of information out of the organizers and while you might have guessed at the inclusion of apple cider, the balance of offerings are less obvious and delightfully playful (there may even be a handful of spiked blueberries in store for you, but don’t worry, they won’t be of the knock-the-guard-dog-out barbiturate version).

Note that while there are two seatings for this event, tickets are going fast. Score yours here.

Friday, January 30 | 6:30 & 9 | Groundswell (566 Powell St) | DETAILS
