The  Melbourne Documentary Film Festival   kicks off on July 9th and carries through to the 16th of July. Screening as part of the festival is The Gateway Bug , a documentary about the future - and that future is entomophagy... aka... eating bugs! Andrew interviewed director Johanna B. Kelly and producer Cameron Marshad about what went in to making a documentary about bugs, and what inspired them do cover this subject.  The Gateway Bug  was funded through Kickstarter, which Cameron discusses the ways he navigated through crowdfunding. This is a truly fascinating documentary in the line of  That Sugar Film  and  The End of the Line - it'll make you look at the way you consume food in a different light, while also making you consider just how beneficial our insect friends are.  The Gateway Bug  screens on July 16th at 3:00pm. Tickets can be purchased here . Follow  The Last New Wave  on Facebook and Twitter ....
