screen bites

 

Screen Bites is an annual festival, held in the same month as Dorset Food Week, based around food and film. It uses the medium of documentary and feature film to entertain and to highlight concerns and awareness of food, nutrition, health and local distinctiveness, encouraging the sustainability of local communities.

Encounters short film festival

 

Encounters is the umbrella title for two of the UK's leading film festivals, now combined, with a host of cross-over attractions, at venues in and around the Harbourside area of Bristol, UK.
The longest-running festival in the partnership began life in 1995 as Brief Encounters - originally envisioned as a ‘one-off' event, to mark the centenary of cinema. It proved so popular that it is now an annual attraction - expanding year on year and acknowledged internationally as one of the world's most respected celebrations of short film.

 

Food For Life

 

In One Planet Food, three young secret agents are briefed by "The Boss" to investigate the impact of food and farming on the environment. Their assignments take them to classified locations where they discover facts about where our food actually comes from. They find out whether it is possible to opt for One Planet Food.

One of the reasons we made this film is that we believe in improving access to local, seasonal and organic food in schools and communities and we hope we can motivate young people to choose planet friendly food as a result of watching the film.

Anyone who watches the film will learn lots about where our food comes from and how it affects our planet. Some of the things we learn are that organic farmers base their farming around nature, that they use animal poo on a farm, about the animals being organic, how much fruit is from other countries and that it pollutes the planet if you buy fruit from around the world.
