Food Film Festivals

Films For Food-Lovers

First, let us state that this is not about festivals you can attend: it is about festivals you can create for your own enjoyment, featuring films about food.

They’re films about cooking and eating or drinking—like Sideways, Babette’s Feast, Wedding Banquet, or Mostly Martha. They’re films with secondary themes about food—like The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover. And they’re films with famous food scenes, like the sensual feast in Tom Jones, the Katz’s Deli scene in When Harry Met Sally (“I’ll have what she’s having”)‚ or the food fight in Animal House.

Plan Your Own Festival

We hope NIBBLE readers will put on their own “food film festivals” for friends by renting some films and pairing them with appropriately-themed feasts or snacks. Please check out our films, and possibly add some of your own! And start thinking about the festivals you can create...Chinese food themes, Mexican food film festivals, chocolate film festivals. You can plan a festival a month for years!
