Pop-Up Cinefeast is a new quarterly collaboration featuring the best in local food, music and movies. The July kick-off party hosted by Sound Unseen and Dinner on the Farm gathers emerging chefs, craft brewers, mixologists and filmmakers for an intimate evening that encourages camaraderie. Participants don’t know what they’ll eat, drink or watch, and the location is only revealed after purchasing tickets. The air of mystery and exclusivity is deliberate, says Sound Unseen’s event coordinator Vilay Dethluxay, and Dinner on the Farm owner/event organizer Monica Walch. They spoke to KFAI producer Cyn Collins about creating the new event series. For tickets and more information, go to www.soundunseen.com.
