About Food.Film.Fest.
Welcome at the Food.Film.Fest., a film festival with screenings all across Flanders and the Netherlands.
With a rich and thought-provoking selection of films, we aim to inspire as many people as possible to explore new ways of thinking about food.
Last year, around 290 local initiatives hosted a screening of a selected film, often followed by a discussion with the audience to spark ideas and conversation.
In 2025, the festival runs again from November 10 to December 10 — just like last year. Will you be part of this great festival?
