Screenings and events are planned for Dare Arts, 300 Queen Elizabeth Ave., Manteo, on Friday, Nov. 1, and the College of the Albemarle, Saturday, Nov. 2. There will also be an opening reception at 6 p.m. Nov. 1 on the rooftop deck at the Pearl Hotel, 100 Old Tom Ave. in Manteo.
The festival is presented by the Peace Garden Project, a nonprofit that seeks to address food insecurity as defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as inadequate access to sufficient, affordable and nutritious food. The gardening and food justice initiative based in Manteo also works to educate people about the importance of caring for the environment.
“Our mission is to increase the accessibility of fresh food in local communities, while engaging the social and economic barriers that often prevent people from getting the food they need,” according to the Peace Garden Project’s website.
A schedule of events with run times and locations is available on the website.
