The award-winning documentary which delves into the lives of supermarket employees Meu Querido Supermercado is now streaming in the United States.
The doc follows everyday employees who are just machine cogs of a big supermarket store, revealing their pains, joys, humor, aspirations, challenges, and other traits and circumstances. My Darling Supermarket is available through a growing list of virtual cinema platforms of independent movie theaters in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and Cleveland. A few more are expected to be added next month.
FILM FESTIVAL WINNER
Directed by Tali Yankelevich, the film won the award for best departures feature at the Indie Memphis Film Festival last October. It also competed at Canada’s DOXA Documentary Film Festival in the international competition of feature documentaries last year. More recently, My Darling Supermarket screened at New York’s Museum of Modern Art Doc Fortnight series.
The documentary marks the full feature debut of Yankelevich, whose 2011 short The Perfect Fit was shortlisted for an Oscar nomination. The short about a ballet dancer and a shoemaker was produced by BBC Scotland and won the SXGlobal Short Film Award at the SXSW Film Festival in 2012.
