For a Handful of Chanterelles


Has an animation ever made you feel hungry? No? Then this one might.  Created by Julien Grande for his final project at Belgium’s ENSAV La Cambre it tells the story of an extended family’s preparation for lunch – and in particular the trials and  tribulations of the pater familias in his search for his favorite culinary delicacy, a handful of chanterelles (the “une poignée de girolles” of the title).  This is beautifully made, a quiet, understated pleasure.
