Cabrillo College Horticulture Department Presents the 2025 Food Film Showcase
Groundbreaking Films on Indigenous Food Sovereignty, Black Equity, Sustainability, and Community Life
Aptos, CA The Cabrillo College Horticulture Department is proud to announce the 2025 Food Film Showcase, a monthly film screening series that explores crucial themes of black equity, sustainability, Indigenous food sovereignty, permaculture, and community life. This exciting new initiative, created by Melissa Schilling of the Horticulture Department and Climate Justice Club, will run on the last Tuesday of each month, from January through April, and is brought to you by the HORT 160B Edible Landscaping Class in Spring 2025.
Each month, the Food Film Showcase will partner with a community group to create a richer, more diverse experience, including the Umoja Club, the Watsonville Film Festival, indigenous Chef Christina Lonewolf (Eselen, Big Sur Food Festival), and the Cabrillo College Horticulture Department.
The Food Film Showcase aims to foster community dialogue and awareness around critical issues related to environmental justice and cultural sustainability. Each film has been carefully selected for its thought-provoking content and its focus on themes that resonate with the goals of edible landscaping, permaculture, and the intersection of food systems and social equity.
