IDFA and Food Film Festival join forces!
Knowledge is power, which is why the Food Film Festival and IDFA have joined forces! The world's largest documentary film festival and FFF are collaborating to find the best food documentaries. We will also be pointing our audiences towards each other's top films.
The Food Film Festival has its roots in IDFA. When the idea for the Food Film Festival was born in 2010, two of the founders worked at IDFA. We have always maintained a friendly relationship, but yesterday that relationship became official.
Every year, IDFA screens the best documentaries from around the world, some of which are about food. Many of these are screened a couple of months later at the Food Film Festival. In 2011, for example, El Bulli: Cooking in progress, about the famous Spanish chef Ferran Adrià, made waves at IDFA. The culinary master and star of the film even came to Amsterdam for a Q&A. A few months later at the Food Film Festival, El Bulli sold out within an hour of the box office opening.
The Food Film Festival has its own specialty too. The IDFA hit, Jiro dreams of sushi, was screened at the Food Film Festival with another sushi film (Sushi, the global catch, also shown at IDFA) and in combination with a sustainable sushi-making workshop. This knowledge of food and sustainability issues was reason enough for IDFA to strengthen its ties with our festival. So look out for collective projects and cross-references in the future!
This year's Food Film Festival also includes documentaries screened at IDFA in late 2012. If you missed The Fruit Hunters, Land Rush, Rawer, More than Honey and the short Polaris (screening prior to L'Amour des Moules), here’s your chance to snap up a ticket.
