time: 7:30 PM
venue: Visitor  Center Ballroom   

Join filmmaker Yung Chang (Up the Yangtze, China  Heavyweight) and actor Bill Pullman Independence Day, While You Were Sleeping) in celebrating the amazing world of fruit for the very special South Florida premiere of “The Fruit Hunters,” a documentary by Chang starring Pullman and
Fairchild’s own curators of tropical fruit, Richard Campbell and Noris  Ledesma.

Guests  will be treated to tropical fruit tastings led by Campbell and Ledesma, a special introduction by Yung Chang and Bill Pullman, and the very first South Florida screening of “The Fruit Hunters.”

The  film features Pullman trying his hardest to establish a community orchard in Hollywood while Campbell and Ledesma comb dense jungles in search of a rare mango.  Follow the journey of other fruit hunters from around the world – a scholar studying depictions of fruit in paintings at an Italian monastery, a Honduran scientist researching the dangers of growing bananas as a monoculture,
a fruit expert growing ice-cream bean trees in Hawaii, and an indigenous tribe in Borneo saving fruit trees threatened by loggers.

With beautiful cinematography complete with delicious close-ups of rare fruits to satisfy every
epicurean craving, this is a film that can’t be missed.

This July, Fairchild  Tropical Botanic Garden celebrates the mango at the 21st  Annual International Mango Festival. During two days of  festivities Fairchild Garden celebrates the mango as an
object of beauty and  admiration, a subsistence crop for the people and as a niche and  mainstream commercial fruit of the future. Mango experts and enthusiasts  of the world will gather at Fairchild for formal learning in at the Grower’s Summit 2013, which will deliver specific recommendations on  varieties and directions for growing the mango in the Americas. 
 
Two full days of mango festivities will feature a wide range of products, ideas and of course the star of our  show, the mango itself in all its glory. Mangos have been collected from  the far reaches
of the globe and nurtured in South Florida, following  in the footsteps of David Fairchild, the most venerable mango collector  of them all. Mangos in every culinary creation, work of art and on every  flat surface.  Visit the festival to shop Curator Choice mango trees and  fresh fruit, enjoy mango lectures and smoothies, view the world's  largest display of mangos,  take part in the world's only mango  auction and buy mango merchandise and botanical art. There will also  be mango culinary demonstrations, the Garden's one of a kind mango brunch,  a fantastic International Fruit Market and fun activities for kids.
