"I am eye. I am a mechanical eye.

My wife and I are both passionate about documentary film, and are constantly surprised that they get so little exposure. We thought a meetup group would be a great way to try and change this, as well as hopefully meeting some kindre …

The Marin Film/Foodies is a group of like-minded men and women who enjoy a wide variety of movies. Whenever possible, we try to match the ethnic cuisine of the film, but otherwise the goal is just to share a good meal and conversation after a movie.   We primarily watch movies in Marin County. We regularly patronize the Rafael Film Center, but also visit mainstream cinemas and other local venues. Very rarely we will venture outside Marin and go to a specialty cinema in the East Bay, San Francisc …
