A University of Pittsburgh documentary that explores the connection between food waste and hunger will be screened at the Carnegie Mellon International Film Festival on Saturday.
“Rescuing Abundance,” a 15-minute documentary by Pitt business students, will be part of the festival’s Short Film Competition at 2 p.m. Saturday at Regent Square Theater, 1035 S. Braddock Ave. Tickets are $10 for the general public and $5 for students and senior citizens.
The film, which has already been shown at Pitt-Greensburg and the Cinema Verde International Film Festival in Gainesville, Fla., features several Pittsburgh businesses and organizations that are trying to address the problem of food scarcity by reducing food waste.
Among them are Penn’s Corner Farm Alliance, 412 Food Rescue, East End Cooperative Ministry and Eat’n Park.
The documentary was produced by Pitt students in the Certificate Program in Leadership and Ethics. Audrey Murrell, associate dean of the College of Business Administration, was the executive producer.
