Food on Film

CPH:DOX and Meyers Madhus launched first Nordic Food Film Festival!

During this year's CPH:DOX (Copenhagen International Documentary Film Festival) (Nov. 4-14, 2010), a few select films dealing with contemporary food culture formed the basis for the first ever Nordic Food Film Festival - Food On Film.

The following four films were on this year's program:

• Cooking History (by Slovakian director Péter Kerekes). The film was screened on KulturNatten (Culture Night), Oct. 15.
  
• Fresh - the film that begins where "Food Inc." ended.
  
• Tapped - a documentary about bootled water.
  
• Colony - why are bees dissapearing and where do they go?

All screenings were followed by debates and eadible samples.

CPH:DOX was founded in 2003, as part of Natfilm Festival, Copenhagen's largets film festival. Every year, more than 200 films from around the world are screened in the Copenhagen cinemas. In 2009, the film festival had 37,000 admissions.
