Synopsis
A global trek to surprising and far-flung sites, Shelf Life takes its audience on an adventure to ask an unusual question: What insights might spending time among people who age cheese yield about what it’s like for us humans to grow old?
The ever-inquisitive filmmaker Ian Cheney (The Search for General Tso) travels from Japan to Tbilisi and beyond for an immersive culinary experience, talking with cheese makers, mongers and librarians whose perspectives on decay and dissolution both charm and haunt. “Beautifully shot and gently paced, Shelf Life offers a sensory delight that will leave you craving a taste of the world’s finest cheeses while pondering the more profound questions of life and mortality.” (Tribeca Festival)
