This week on TIFF Long Take, Rob and Geoff sit down with renowned documentarian and director, David Gelb. Starting with his critically acclaimed debut film, \'Jiro Dream\\u2019s of Sushi\', Gelb\\u2019s aesthetically beautiful and emotionally rich profiles of great chefs have had a \\xa0significant impact on the genre of food documentary. He has since gone on to create the highly influential Netflix docu-series \\u2018Chef\\u2019s Table\\u2019, which recently debuted its fifth season.

Gelb talks about how he fell into documentary filmmaking, the chain of events that lead to the making of \'Jiro Dreams of Sushi\', and how he went about pitching \\u2018Chef\\u2019s Table\\u2019 to Netflix.

He also talks about how he\\u2019s managed to create a consistent aesthetic across his work, how he picks and chooses which stories he wants to tell, and why the most recent season of \\u2018Chef\\u2019s Table\\u2019 is its most political yet.
