Coffs Coast Local Food Film Festival

Coffs Coast Local Food Film Festival presents films about our most important life sustaining resource; food! The purpose of the film festival is to educate the public on issues regarding our current food systems including modern food production, distribution and consumption, and their effects on our health, the environment, human rights, and local and global economies. The aims of the Festival are to: (a) raise awareness around a range of issues connected with food production, agriculture, fishing and food retailing at the global and national levels, (b) promote the need for changes in attitudes and practices to support sustainable, resilient and more locally-based food systems, (c) help raise funds to support young local film-makers who want to make documentaries about our local and regional food and agricultural traditions, and (d) entertain audiences & provide them with a good night out.  www.coffscoastlocalfoodfilmfestival.org.au
