Frenchy Dreams of Hashish

Pre-screening celebration at Ft Lauderdale’s Oldest Distillery, 1110 NE 8th Ave 33304, for a pre-screening sesh from 7:10 - 9pm, then head to Gateway Theater in to watch the documentary "Frenchy Dreams of Hashish". Frenchy Dreams of Hashish showcases master hashishin Frenchy Cannoli’s lifelong pursuit of perfect hashish and highlights the ethos of sustainable, sun-grown cannabis. During filming, in addition to intense wildfires, California’s small cannabis farmers experienced economic assassination at the hands of government and corporate interests. This formed the context of the film in which Frenchy and the farmers' fight for quality, and survival, intensified. Through the lens of Frenchy Cannoli’s life, this documentary showcases the importance of craft, quality, and perseverance. It also creates a conversation around the global topics of climate change, health care, sustainability, and corporatocracy. To that end, 20% of proceeds from all screenings of the film both in theaters and eventually online will be donated to the Origins Council, a nonprofit advocacy association that serves 900 licensed small and independent cannabis businesses in six legacy-producing counties throughout California. Origins Council in turn will use the money to support their project with the Lost Coast Farmers’ Guild of Humboldt County to research and develop the Guild's petition to establish one of the first legally recognized cannabis appellations in the world.
