Short films about „Food“

Lunch
D: Mai Anocha Suwichakornpong
Thailand 2011, 30 Min., Original with English subtitles

Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner [is] a three-part film by three female directors from Hong Kong, Thailand and Singapore. We present different aspects of love through three meals, and I chose lunch. I find it the most interesting because lunch feels more like an interval of your day than a proper meal. You have to hurry through it. It’s a perfect representation of fleeting love. www.alivenotdead.com
