How do canned mandarin oranges become so pith-free and perfectly segmented? You can finally found out tonight at the NYC Food Film Festival closing ceremony where the Dutch documentary Mandarin will play at 8:50 p.m. The free event at Water Taxi Beach starts at 7:45 p.m. with an awards ceremony for the films that have been playing all week long, followed by a viewing of other shorts, including Save The Honey Bees at 8:30 p.m., starring our very own thespian Ed Levine, and the Power of the Peep at 9:15 p.m. (let's just say some folks take Lord of the Rings-themed Peep dioramas very seriously).
See tonight's full schedule here.
Disclaimer: You may pick mandarin oranges out of your Chinese chicken salads until forever after watching the behind-the-scenes factory visit.

In case you missed the festival, the mandarin orange film is online here: http://player.omroep.nl/?aflID=8598402
It's mostly in Dutch, but the sections in the Spanish and Chinese processing plants are in English. You can figure out what they are talking about in the Dutch science-lab segments pretty easily - although you might not want to know!
Good Guide gives most canned mandarin orange products a ~5:

ps. after you watch it, search Google images for 'Ontstopper', translates as 'plunger' - it's liquid plumber!
