Devour! is a transformative food and film experience combining cinematic excellence with extraordinary gastronomic activities. The annual film festival typically hosts 100+ events, celebrated filmmakers and high-profile chefs from around the globe. Devour! takes place in Wolfville, Kings County, the agricultural heartland of Nova Scotia; home to a thriving wine industry and hospitable community with a longstanding farm-to-table ethos. Devour! aims to inspire people to think differently about food and create a deeper connection to it. The 2021 fest is scheduled for October 19-24.
“Devour is the largest gastronomic film festival in the world, with events around the globe, partnerships with multiple film festivals and the mothership event in Nova Scotia Canada that welcomes 15,000 culinary cinephiles each fall. Steeped in the ethos of Slow Food, we strive to address issues with the food system, climate change and societal health while at the same time fostering an environment conducive to excellence and innovation in filmmaking and an enjoyable festival experience. This collision of food and film touches on all the senses.” Michael Howell – Executive Director, Devour The Food Film Fest
