Food meets film on Malin village green 12.10.14

THE food we eat and its origins will be the hot topic when Malin is transformed once again into a film village for the Guth Gafa festival in less than two weeks time.
The international documentary film festival will get underway on Saturday October 25 and Sunday October 26 in pop-up cinemas around the village green.
Over 20 films from 15 different countries, celebrating the groundbreaking work of some of the world’s leading independent documentary filmmakers will be premiered over the two-day event.
Audiences are promised a strong programme during the Guth Gafa film festival in Malin.
The impact of conflict, globalisation and climate change on the lives of ordinary people resonates through this year’s programme, with a sprinkling of magic thrown in.
“It is one of our strongest programmes to date and we are delighted to be returning to Malin after the strong support we received last year,” said director, David Rane.
The origins of the food we eat will be scrutinised through a number of hotly topical food-themed documentaries, including Canned Dreams from Finland, Food Chains from the USA , Meat and Milk from France, My Name is Salt from Germany, and the Irish-made Blood Fruit.
These films will set the scene for a panel discussion on the future of Irish agriculture and food production.
Alongside the films, audiences can also look forward to a packed programme of industry and social events.
Full programme details are available on the Guth Gafa website www.guthgafa.com .
