About
Philosophy
The Food Film Festival wants to educate people about wrongs in the food system by screening revealing documentaries, inviting knowledgeable speakers and debating with the public about current issues. But the festival's philosophy is based on the idea that people will have to revalue their food in order to make a sustainable change. In our view, the best way to do that, is by enjoying, loving and caring for your food. And the best way to do that is to get inspired.
Therefore we also screen documentaries that show the most amazing chefs, dishes, food producers and food lovers. Also, we invite the public of the Food Film Festival to brush up on their cooking skills by partaking in one of the many workshops. Because the best way to revalue food is through the shared experience of it.
That brings us to the third bit: food = culture. This becomes particularly apparent in cinema. There is hardly any feature film that is devoid of food. The reason for that, is that food is full of meaning. Having it, sharing it, savoring it, not sharing it, longing for it and cooking it. Therefore we also screen the best food related feature films
