Cheese has been with us, in all its delightful shapes, smells, and flavors, for millennia, and although its exact origins remain unknown, what is not a mystery is how almost every region of the world has developed specific specialties. This is especially remarkable if we consider the essential simplicity of the most basic kind of cheese, comprised of milk, salt, culture, and rennet. In his latest documentary, Shelf Life, director Ian Cheney (The Arc of Oblivion) takes a look at the many different ways that humans appreciate this dairy product, simultaneously meditating on the metaphysics of aging and life itself. Join the New Mexico Cheese Guild for a special screening of this Tribeca Film Festival award winning documentary and for a conversation with the film's producer. This event is a fundraising to support local cheesemakers.
