CHICAGO — Two documentaries spotlighting the strength and importance of intergenerational connections will premiere this weekend, closing the 59th Chicago International Film Festival with a spin and a dish.

“Bike Vessel,” a documentary directed by and starring Eric D. Seals, follows the 35-year-old director as he and his father, now 70, cycle from St. Louis to Chicago.

In “Food Roots,” a documentary by Emmy award-winning director Michele Josue, acclaimed restaurateur Billy Dec embarks on a culinary journey to rebuild lost family recipes.
