Reel Talk 2019 - It's a Wrap!

On November 16th Nourish and the Halifax Public Libraries hosted the second annual Reel Talk: Youth Food Through Film in partnership with Devour! The Food Film Fest and CBC NS. Attendees experienced a cultural adventure as they made stops around the event playing games, trying delicious snacks and identifying foods from around the world. This was followed by a film screening, podcast taping and celebration of the top youth short-films submitted to the Nourish Food & Film Challenge as part of Devour! The Food Film Fest.

This year’s challenge theme invited youth to share how they celebrate culture through food, and the youth delivered! Films highlighted eating, cooking and enjoying food in different ways, with themes of connection, sharing and celebrating our diverse culture, heritage and traditions scattered throughout. Check out their films on youtube .

Thank you to the incredible filmmakers and youth hosting team , Devour! The Food Film Fest, CBC, Halifax Central Libraries and our Nourish volunteers and board members.  Events like these are only successful due to the incredible volunteers who help make it happen - from the planning, set up, facilitation, booth hosts and the tear down, there’s a role for everyone.
