Devour! The Food Film Fest and the Nourish Youth Food and Film Challenge

The Nourish Youth Food and Film Challenge invites young filmmakers in Nova Scotia to creatively explore and share their unique stories about food. This year, we’re Celebrating Local, and we encourage participants to showcase local food, farms, traditions, or community. Whether it’s a short documentary film or something totally unique – if it’s about food and celebrates local, it belongs in the spotlight. We’re excited to see what “local” tastes like through your lens!  

The winning filmmaker will receive a film package prize and have their work screened at the opening night of the Devour! The Food Film Fest in October 2025. 

Are you a teacher looking for fun and educational class activities related to food? This would be a great project for individual or group work, and creates a hands-on learning opportunity across grades and subjects. By participating, students can learn about filmmaking, technology & software, culture, community building, nutrition, health and more.
