Whether we are watching a group of survivors try to start a farm in ‘Five’ or exploring fears of synthetic food in ‘Silent Running’, food is a way of exploring both the possibility of restarting civilisation and our darkest fears about the future.

In these films, food is much more than what people eat. It is a way of exploring our relationship to the environment, love and family.

Covering nearly a century of cinema, Dr Tommy Lynch of the University of Chichester will offer a tour of post-apocalyptic palates.

He will conclude by exploring the enduring appeal of cannibalistic futures, from ‘Soylent Green’ to ‘Delicatessen’.
