Devour! The Food Film Fest:
THE SEA
Devour! The Food Film Fest is the world's largest food and film festival. Under the 2026 theme, "Devour! The Sea," the festival brings together chefs, filmmakers, fishers, and food lovers to celebrate seafood, coastal communities, ocean sustainability, and the stories behind what ends up on our plates through screenings, galas, chef demonstrations, and hands-on workshops.
