Food on Film

Spring 2023: Working together

In the spring season we will be looking at working together to make, grow, buy and campaign about food. We start with the family favourite RATATOUILLE which sees an enterprising rat with a passion for cooking learn the value of collaboration as he goes on a journey to become a top Paris chef with the help of friends and family. We then move to the UK to look into the role of community mutual aid groups in getting food to people during the pandemic with the documentary FROM BELOW. We finish by exploring how English farmers are working together through the Landworkers’ Alliance and the international food sovereignty movement to foster agricultural practices based on working more closely with nature through the documentary IN OUR HANDS. Both documentaries will be accompanied by panel discussions with food growers, community groups and researchers.
