Ceres is a global platform that promotes food sustainability by driving awareness and engagement, culminating in an annual film festival. We are building a global community of storytellers that values and champions a sustainable, integrati

ve, and curious approach to our shared food ecosystem. CFFF was created by Palms for Life Fund, a NYC-based non-profit that works globally with organizations on the ground to provide access to food, water, education, and sanitation. We have set up mobile libraries for underserved children in Ecuador, brought literacy to women farmers in Burkina Faso, and built toilets in Nicaragua to improve school sanitation. With a grant from the European Union, we are now providing sustainable, quality services to the most vulnerable children in Swaziland. Learn more via: https://www.palmsforlifefund.org/

Inspired by the tomato, the evening brings together food, cocktails, and three short films:

🍅 Amoris Pomum, dir. Felipe Sanguinetti
♻️ A Failure of the Imagination, dir. Matt Hopkins
🌊 Fragmentos de Mar, dir. Wolf Lass

Plus, a conversation with Wen-Jay | food founder and Joe McDowell from Acid Spirits, moderated by FoodPrint director Jerusha Klemperer (Jerusha K), on resourcefulness, closed-loop systems, and imagining a different food future.

Come for the films. Stay for the food, drinks, and conversation.

At Ceres, everything begins with care: for the food that sustains us, the people and communities who make it possible, the filmmakers who bring food stories to life, and the generations who will inherit these stories and systems.

Through film and conversation, we create space to look more closely at the relationships between food, people, and the world around us. What began as a festival has grown into a community where questions linger long after the credits roll.

Thank you for watching, questioning, sharing, and being part of this journey. We’re so grateful to have you at the table.

Stay tuned for more!
