Food Fighter, Mint’s feature documentary about the global scandal of food waste, has been selected for the Warsaw Film Festival for its European premiere.
The film has also been selected for the annual film festival in Johannesburg this weekend (African premiere), the Cape Town International Film Festival in October and the Social Justice Film Festival in Seattle, also in October.
Filmed over two years and across four continents, Food Fighter follows OzHarvest CEO & founder Ronni Kahn on her crusade to end food waste as she partners with the United Nations in Bangkok, rubs shoulders with British royalty and Jamie Oliver’s juggernaut in London, while holding government and big business to account in Australia.
The feature-length documentary went on cinema release around the country with Village Roadshow and Events Cinemas after it was officially launched at the State Theatre of NSW on June 3, ahead of World Environment Day.
The film has previously screened at multiple festivals in Australia and won two Hollywood Independent International Documentary Awards, for best feature and best direction (April 2018), and a Social Impact Award from a festival in Los Angeles.
It has also been screened at Parliament House in Canberra. The TV version will air on Foxtel’s Lifestyle Channel on October 16.
It was directed and produced by Dan Goldberg and executive produced by Adam Kay and Simon Nasht.
It was financed by Screen Australia, private philanthropy via Documentary Australia Foundation, Foxtel, Goodship and Flame Distribution.
