An Evening with Leif Peterson: Cider Tasting in Gluten-Free Garden of Eden post-film

As part of the Northwest Tracking Series, the Northwest Film Center will be screening a few short films by Portland filmmaker Leif Peterson concerning origin myths on August 12 at 7pm. This isn’t any ordinary screening, which is why we thought you’d like to know about it. As part of “An Evening with Leif Peterson” we have organized a cider tasting playing on the theme of “forbidden fruit” in the Garden of Eden origin myth. There will also be gluten-free goodies to snack on! All of the cider and food is being donated by local cider houses and bakeries.  It’s the perfect event for people to take a chance on a local filmmaker and enjoy a gluten-free reception after the screening.

His “Origin Series” explores creation myths such as Cain and Abel or the Garden of Eden. Following the screening, the Film Center invites you to taste, or rather drink, the forbidden fruit at a cider tasting and gluten-free soiree.

You don’t want to miss this mix of local film, food, and cider. Portland’s grown and raised come to mingle at this screening with director in attendance.
