The Perennial Plate

The Perennial Plate is a two-time James Beard Award winning documentary series and production company with a focus on a more human food system.  Their work has been featured in The Atlantic, The New York Times, Food and Wine Magazine, Saveur, Bon Appetite and their films have been screened at dozens of film festivals.

Season One of the series took place over a calendar year in Minnesota where every Monday for 52 weeks, Daniel Klein and Mirra Fine (husband and wife) released short films about the culinary, agricultural and hunting happenings in their home state. In Season Two, they made weekly videos across America. For Season 3  they traveled  to China, Japan, India, Sri Lanka, Spain, Morocco, Italy, Turkey, Argentina, Mexico, South Africa and Ethiopia.  In Season 4 (with baby in tow), they spent 2 months each in Colorado, Mexico, Ireland and Nova Scotia, documenting a multitude of regional food stories.   Their most recent season took a turn away from food and toward Immigrant stories, taking a compassionate look at American Life in its many forms.
