The festival considers the environmentally sustainable in its exclusive partnership with gelato-meisters Cow & Moon.
And now for something completely different… The Ant-enna Documentary Film Festival has teamed up with gelato house Cow & Moon for a highly ant-icipated sweet treat for attendees of the Australian premiere of vibr-ant documentary Bugs.
Ignoring those tasteless puns for a moment, Cow & Moon are dishing up an exlusive guava sorbet with a sprinkling of ants to provide a bit of crunchy acidity. It’s a social experiment considering the environmental benefits of eating insects, which the film itself considers as a potential solution to the world hunger epidemic.
With the sustainable and culinary benefits of insects being impossible to ignore (ants make up the largest biomass on the Earth, and reproduce endlessly), it will parallel the film’s message with the visceral sensation of actually eating the critters.
Bugs will screen on Saturday October 15 at the Chauvel Cinema in Paddington. More tickets and information can be found here.
