Tryon Fine Arts Center’s annual film series begins on Tuesday, Oct. 4, with “Chef,” the first of an eight-film series about a subject close to all our hearts, the pleasures of food and drink.

The monthly series will run from October through May and will include such notable and award-winning films as “Chocolat,” “Who’s Killing The Great Chefs of Europe?,” “Bottle Shock,” “What’s Cooking,” and “Water for Chocolate” and the season will end with a Julia Child-themed gala (with appropriate refreshments) prior to the showing of “Julie and Julia.”

The films are generally shown on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 p.m. although, this season there will be one exception to that rule, with two films in January.

The dates for the film showings are the following Tuesdays: Oct. 4, Nov. 1, Dec. 6, Jan. 3, Jan. 31, March 7, April 4, and May 2.

Details of the films will be published prior to the showing of each film. Tickets will be sold at the door, prior to the film.
