WFF Launches the Fourth Edition of the Film Festival
The World Food Forum is pleased to announce the launch of its Fourth Annual Film Festival! The short film competition has been successfully run for three years, including the first in person awards ceremony held at the FAO Headquarters in Rome in 2022. It has now become one of the quickest growing food focused film festivals in the world and has made a splash in the industry. See the winners of past editions.
This year, the competition will feature five categories, featuring this year’s new category, "Best Focus on Innovation".
Are you a young filmmaker who wants to tell the world stories that will inspire behavioural change and play an essential role in transforming our agrifood systems? Now is the time to submit your short film! We are looking for inspiring stories, both fiction and non-fiction, that will trigger a positive impact in the areas of food security, nutrition, gastronomy and more to facilitate agrifood systems transformation.
For this short film competition, the WFF is looking for filmmakers who will:
- Raise awareness about and create greater interest in issues relating to agrifood systems, such as food security, healthy diets, planet friendly agriculture, food supply chain imperfections, food loss and waste, sustainable packaging, the impact of the agrifood sector on people’s lives, sustainable socio-economic development and more,
- Promote new and innovative solutions to address the challenges facing agrifood systems,
- Celebrate the work of inspiring people who, from farm to fork, participate in making healthy food available on everyone’s plates,
- Highlight the 2024 WFF theme: Good food for all, today and tomorrow.
The directors of the five winning films will receive a cash prize and their films will be featured during the World Food Forum flagship event in Rome from14-18 October 2024, allowing the artists to promote their work, gain visibility and network with global participants.
