Food Film Fest is calling exclusively for food-focused short films. Films where food is not merely used as a prop, but becomes a main vehicle to convey emotions.
We will consider:
- fiction films (food has to be relevant to the plot)
- food documentaries
- food animated films
- art/experimental films
- food vlogs (reviews, cooking videos, meok-bang videos, etc)
- social media video content
- no branded content or advertisement
Our selection will be released in collaboration with the PROXY ACT festival and DUKA Film Festival (Germany, summer 2021) in a unique event hosted in a Neo-gothic castle built in 1840 in Brandenburg Germany. With an open-air screen, a main-hall screen, a video art projection room and a stage for live performances, with the aim want to bring films, music and nature together in a unique responsible act for change.
The selected films will be also considered for further promotion until summer 2022, through the PROXY ACT Collective.
PROXY ACT organises events and screenings throughout the year in several partner events and venues around the world (England, Germany, Italy, Colombia, S. Korea and looking into Greece this year). Our interest is to bring an inter- and multi-cultural audience to this films, creating a community feeling between the filmmakers and them.
PROXY ACT has partnered with venues and other festivals in Colombia, Italy, England and Germany. Other projects organised by us include ProxySYNC: a unique event with an artistic programme happening simultaneously in Bogotá (Colombia) and Caserta (Italy).
Our selection of short-films and media art has given our events a wide variance of cultural freshness to the way audiovisual material is constructed.
PROXY ACT is a young international network of artists and performers based in London and Berlin. We are constantly developing our own artistic projects through films and performances.
All the selected films will be screened at the Schönow Castle in Brandenburg, Germany between the 5th and the 18th of July.
One or more of the selected films will be promoted together with the annual short film selection of the PROXY ACT collective to be screened at their events.
