The Loft Cinema will present a screening of Consumed, a gripping dramatic thriller set in the complex world of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), on April 12. The event will feature a Non-GMO Information and Food Fair, with local groups and vendors on the Loft patio, starting at 6 p.m.

A panel discussion with local experts will immediately follow the film. Panelists include Melissa Diane Smith, author of Going Against GMOs, and small farmer Anne Loftfield, of High Energy Agriculture.
