workshops

Workshops are a regular and wellknown part of the Food Film Festival. Food awareness and eating healthier is not only achieved by looking and listening, but even more by doing. The unique tryouts and workshops are fun, inspriring and tasty. And not only that: you will be lectured by the experts.

Inspiration

This edition of Food Film Festival features workshops with a connection to the films and documentaries which are shown. By visiting both, you will get to know the subject even better. Of course you can visit only one of them, but participating in both is recommended. We are expecting that the workshops will be sold out very fast, so be on your mark to make your reservations quickly on February 27.

Tickets

Tickets will be for sale via this website from February 27.
