Description

“Food on Film” is a project funded by Creative Europe in 2024, which addresses the climate crisis through the language of cinema, combining digital tools and in-person activities with the aim of raising public awareness, especially among young people, about the connection between food, the environment and climate change. The project involves European schools and environmental festivals through an innovative film education programme that explores the impact of food choices, while also promoting EU audiovisual works.

After the success of phase 1, Food on Film is ready to evolve into the second phase by expanding its impact. Food on Film 2 is based on a strengthened link between schools and environmental film festivals, through new digital tools. This approach will contribute to promoting film education and audience development in 7 European countries.

“Food on Film – Phase 2” will expand its scope through:

  • Greater geographical coverage involving 2 new EU countries, joining the 5 already participating;
  • The improvement of digital tools (in particular a new platform), a new Food on Film catalogue and innovative film teaching tools that offer a more interactive and engaging format for high school students (14-19 years old);
  • A new target group involved (children aged 6 to 12) through screenings and activities during film festivals organised by the project partners.

The new Food on Film catalogue will include 3 sections of films, available in Italian, English, French, German, Spanish and Montenegrin: 20 environmental documentaries, 10 short films on environmental and social challenges and 15 one-minute short films on the themes of gender and inclusion.

Phase 2 of the project will introduce 2 international competitions: a Mobile Food on Film Festival, where students will create short films using their smartphones, and an international student jury that will watch and vote on professional environmental films, encouraging cultural exchange and dialogue among young Europeans.
