About Food on Film

SPRING 2024
(Un)sustainable living

In the spring season we’re thinking about sustainable and unsustainable practices, from how we grow our food and look after the land to how we treat other animals or each other. The season starts with SIX INCHES OF SOIL (April 13th, May 7th), which follows three new UK farmers on their journey to heal the soil and improve the food system through regenerative agriculture. We then move onto CIVET COFFEE: FROM RARE TO RECKLESS (30th April) to explore the impacts of the world’s most expensive coffee on the animals who help to make it. We finish off with THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER (22nd March), which sees a group of Malawian farmers impacted by climate change head to the US to try to persuade producers there that it won’t be long before they start to feel the effects too. There will also be panel discussions and a coffee tasting with no civets involved!


FOOD ON FILM: IN FOUR SEASONS

Discover a world of food on film with a compilation of documentaries, features and shorts from around the world, scheduled across four seasons.

Each season will explore food from a different social, cultural or political angle, to discover how it shapes the world around us – our identities, livelihoods and planet. Screenings will be accompanied by talks, workshops and events hosted by food researchers and producers, and there will be plenty of opportunities to get hands on with making and tasting.

Food on Film is delivered in partnership with Exeter Food: A University Research Network and the MA Food Studies

The season is also delivered in conjunction with Exeter Phoenix Social [practice] programme.
