Local Foods Connection, in partnership with Field to FamilyGrow Johnson County and the Iowa City Farmers Market, presents the Real Food For All Pop Up Film Festival in partnership with Film Scene and other Iowa City area nonprofits. The festival will feature a 45 minute program of short films that focus on just and sustainable food and farming, followed by a discussion and Q&A with community advocates about efforts to support local farmers while making fresh, healthy, sustainable foods accessible to all.

The short films included in the program were finalists in the 2016 Real Food Films Contest produced by Real Food Media. Films are four minutes or less and range in style from documentaries to advocacy films to spoken word poetry shorts.
