Austin Film Festival 2025 – Bite to Bite World Premiere Feature Documentary

Directed by Austin Director Kelly Lipscomb, Bite to Bite chronicles the journey of one giant Bluefin tuna from the frigid waters of Nova Scotia to the sushi tables of Japan as two lifelong Canadian fishermen and a scientist from Texas set off to follow their fish halfway around the globe to the world-famous Tsukiji seafood market in Tokyo.

Along the way, the film serves up a rare glimpse inside the controversial but lucrative world of Bluefin tuna as it interweaves tales of overfishing, sustainability and how traditional fishing communities are staying afloat in an increasingly corporatized global fishing industry.

There are two opportunities to view the film in Austin. The first is on Saturday, October 25, 2025 at 1:30 pm- Rollins Theater at the Long Center and the second screening is Tuesday, October 28, 2025, at 6:30 pm- Galaxy Theater 6. A Q& A is to follow both screenings.
