Rest In Peace Jørgen Leth.
Jørgen Leth was a Danish poet and film director, who was considered a leading figure in experimental documentary filmmaking

Together with NAFA, we screened ‘Pelota II,” where Jørgen came to eat with us and the audiences, he introduced the film and took time for an Q&A. This meant a lot to us- not only because Jørgen was one of Denmark most influencial, experimental and with focus on Cultural diversity, he was also born in Aarhus.
Furthermore his documentary “5 obstacles’ together with Lars von Trier, has been an inspiration for us, in how to think out of the box, push our boundaries and still remain ( a perfect) human.

Jørgen Leth June 1937 – 29 September 2025.
Our thought goes to his family, friends, collegues and loved ones

⏳ Deadline: 27 June 2025

Food Film Menu aims to raise awareness on food as cultural heritage and its vital role in encouraging and supporting local sustainable development in regions across the world.
We have identified the important role of audio-visual for promoting sustainable practises, local food products, local food recipes and traditions related to regional gastronomy and therefore we hope to promote a film competition that will:

Place a spotlight on regions from across the globe and their food heritage;
Provide opportunities to promote local food and craft products internationally;
Encourage young film directors to become ambassadors for their regions.
Engage the public in interesting ways to stimulate pride and awareness.
So what is the Food Film Menu?
It is a collection of short films showcasing footage about regions from across the globe under the theme: Food Stories. From the projects submitted, a jury will select up to 14 Best Films that will permanently form part of the Food Film Menu. Among them, a people’s choice vote on social media will then select the Public’s Favourite Film. The Food Film Menu will be published yearly on IGCAT’s website and on social media, highlighting each creative work and the culinary heritage story behind it.
