Naniola Productions in partnership with Action Center to End World Hunger and Columbia University Medical Center Office of Government and Community Affairs presents the third annual Food For Thought Film Festival 2009; a showcase of films about our life sustaining resources: FOOD and WATER.
The festival begins on April 11, 2009 at the Action Center to End World Hunger downtown and will conclude on April 18, 2009 at the Columbia University Medical Center Alumni Auditorium uptown. This event is FREE to the public to encourage maximum community attendance. The program will run from 1pm to 8:30pm showcasing four feature length films, three short films, guest speakers, and filmmakers. The detailed schedule and directions can be found at http://www.foodfilmfest.com/schedule.html.
This year's Film Fest focuses on several crucial issues: access to clean food and water; local and sustainable agriculture; and the effects of policy on small American farmers. Our goal is to promote dialogue within communities and to inspire action. For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.foodfilmfest.com
