In May 2014 the Food Film Festival Amsterdam celebrates its fourth edition. Once again a selection of the best food films from all corners of the globe will screen. 

The Food Film Festival attempts to cover all aspects of everything related to food. Aside from documentaries, feature films, animation, short and experimental films the festival boasts a variety of debate, lectures, live shows and workshops. This broad approach leads to the multifaceted program the subject deserves.

The Food Film Festival believes that good stories have the power to transform the world. By creating a stage for food stories the Food Film Festival hopes to convey the love for food and at the same time it denounces the many problems related to our current day food system.

Apart from food, the Food Film Festival loves film. It encourages quality independent cinema and provides an opportunity for industry professionals from here and abroad to meet. The goal of the festival is also to continue to amplify cinematographic offering in Europe.

The Festival screens films in which an important aspect of food is covered. That means that food can be the main subject, but not necessarily so. Food can play an important, but nevertheless secondary role, in the background even. Food can be used cinematographically to convey a message, emotion, atmosphere or idea. It can be used as aesthetic component. As object or as subject. You name it. 

The Food Film Festival is an initiative of the Youth Food Movement (YFM), a network of students, young consumers and food professionals, including farmers, gardeners, chefs and producers, who together bring about change in food production and food consumption.
