Calling all food-loving filmmakers! We're excited to announce the launch of the first-ever SAVEUR Video Festival. A celebration of food and film online, we're looking for the most creative, beautifully-told culinary stories in the world of video.
The art of online video is something extraordinary: whether we're sitting behind a desk or holding a smartphone on the subway, we can lend a filmmaker a few minutes of our time and in return he takes us on a journey. Among all the stories told, those about food — its origins, creation, and consumption — are the closest to our hearts. SAVEUR is a publication that celebrates authentic food, culture, and travel; we crisscross the globe to find honest and surprising stories about people and the meals that bring them together.
And so we're on the hunt for the best food videos out there: With the inaugural year of the SAVEUR Video Festival, we intend to celebrate a medium that's unlike any other. Whether creative, inspiring, funny, moving, experimental, or educational — whether used to explain a technique, introduce us to new faces, or show us a world beyond our horizons — we're committed to providing a platform for the most exceptional voices in the world of culinary video.
Nominations open on Monday, January 7 and as long as it's been made within the last year and a half, it's eligible to become a finalist and will perhaps go on to win it all!
