CF Ira Holmes International Film Series Invites Community to Break Bread

The College of Central Florida Ira Holmes International Film Series continues on Tuesday, Nov. 8, with “Breaking Bread,” a 2019 Israeli film that explores Israel’s groundbreaking A-Sham Festival, which puts Arab and Jewish chefs side by side to create mouthwatering dishes and foster social change.

Called “a treat for the senses,” this documentary aims to prove that collaboration in the kitchen can be a bridge to mutual understanding. Guests at the evening screening are invited to break bread together with a potluck dinner; bringing a dish to share is welcomed but not required.

The screening will begin at 2 p.m. at the Appleton Museum of Art, 4333 E. Silver Springs Blvd., and at 7 p.m. at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road, Building 8, Room 110. Films at the Ocala Campus are free and open to the public. Films at the Appleton are free to all museum and film series members; nonmembers pay museum admission. Films may contain mature content.
