The Food Film Fest reimagines its delicious fest with hybrid in-person and digital programming
Devour! The Food Film Fest is proving that hybrid is just as mouth-watering as the original with an in-person and digital festival combo. This year marks the 10th installment of the festival, coined Devour! 9.5 to reflect travel restrictions and smaller in-person gatherings. Organizers promise to deliver all of the festival’s baked-in goodness during the five-day event, October 21-25, 2020. “We’re reimagining and presenting the best possible version of Devour! in a new, exciting and safe way,” says Michael Howell, executive director of Devour! “Our goal is to deliver a meaningful and engaging event in a time when people need to connect more than ever.” Devour! 9.5 will serve up 44 films through a combination of in-person and digital screenings including 19 feature-length films and 25 shorts. This includes the Opening Gala film and Disney classic, Ratatouille, taking place in-person at the Valley Drive In Theatre, and curated by the 2020 festival headliner, Phil Rosenthal who will be joining virtually for a post-film Q&A and interview with long-time friend of the festival and host, Bob Blumer.
“This reimagined festival makes it possible for us to bring Devour! to an even wider audience than before,” says Lia Rinaldo, managing director of Devour! “We hope that this year’s hybrid format helps us welcome a new, expanded fanbase to Atlantic Canada in the future.”
Film highlights throughout the festival include:
A combination of live and pre-recorded culinary, beverage, film and TV workshops will be hosted in-person and digitally by returning celebrity headliners.
Workshop highlights include:
Chefs Craig Flinn, and Renée Lavallée also host live in-person workshops while Chef Ned Bell joins virtually.
Returning this year is a favourite festival event, Beyond Terroir. In search of the deepest roots of the Gaspereau Valley, the award-winning Benjamin Bridge winery invites guests to its vineyards to learn about terroir beyond the contemporary definition of soil and climate. In partnership with Glooscap First Nation, this unique walking workshop includes Mi'kmaq leadership, cultural representatives and allies speaking on an array of themes, at outdoor fire pit stations where culinary collaborations between the Mi'kmaq community, chefs Jason Lynch & Stéphane Levac, are paired with wine and other drinks. Devour! 9.5 will also deliver a number of established community give-back events like the Great Devour! Community Dinner and the Mayors’ Bike Ride for Devour!, in addition to the modified Devour! Chowder Smackdown To-Go – all while maintaining physical distance and proper safety protocols. Youth and student programming is also a staple at Devour! and this year is no different, with virtual school programming, the Nourish Nova Scotia & CBC Youth Food & Film Challenge, and virtual Cooking Master Classes for Youth run by culinary instructors and students from coast-to-coast. The full program and ticket information will be available on Wednesday, September 16 at 10 a.m. AST on https://devourfest.com/. About Devour!
