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.

Gafa website
