Kings of Pastry

Kings of Pastry, a D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus documentary, sounds like delicious fun. The film's subject is a high-profile pastry making competition held in Lyon once every four years. A pastry maker I know compared the event to the Olympics. Here's a synopsis of the documentary from imdb.com, and a link to Pennebaker/Hegedus' site promoting the film.

If you live in the New York area, the movie will be shown at Film Forum from September 15 through the 28th. The showing, along with the Museum of the Moving Image's winter retrospective on the pair's work (coincident with the completion of the space's renovation), suggests Pennebaker/Hegedus will be in the midst of a major market publicity drive this fall and winter.
