Pastriology

Now here’s a project we can get behind, considering it’s entirely based on pastry (both the good and the bad): “Pastriology,” a feature documentary by Alexis Krasilovsky.

SYNOPSIS:

Pastriology takes a global view of the perils and pleasures of pastry.  How can something that can make you sick and even kill you be such a sweet expression of cultural values and love?  Pastry is a luxury for some, a fast substitute for meals for others, and in today’s economy, it’s a comfort food for more and more Americans at a loss.  Pastriology addresses the planetary emergency of too little food, while seducing the viewer with the lavish traditions and beauty of pastry- and cake-making that call us back to the roots of our childhood.
