Anchored at visual arts centre, Objectifs, the event will feature a curated selection of films on food and its subcultures, satellite screenings with a film-inspired menu, a special presentation examining the relationship of food, film and design, and two exhibitions on food culture.
From over 80 submissions, 8 feature films have been selected for the first edition of FoodCine.ma. Featuring 1 World Premiere and 7 Asia Premieres, the line-up covers a wide range of topics on food culture; from barista competitions, the making of saké, food experience and innovation, a seed bank in Norway and behind the scenes of restaurants from Spain, Israel and Japan.
The festival will also feature 8 short films, each screened before a feature, on the subcultures of food such as pottery, farming, agriculture, Japan’s fast disappearing traditional food producers, Hong Kong’s Cha Chaan Teng and Singapore’s very own Kopitiam.
