About the festival
We Love Stories is an international festival dedicated to oral storytelling and performing arts. Through theatre, cinema, music, illustration, sound art, shadow theatre, and dance poetry, we will share stories from around the world with the participation of artists from Greece, Italy, Poland, and Iceland and films of young filmmakers from the UK, France, and the USA.
It is organized by STORY FOR FOOD (SFF), a Berlin-based international platform for collecting and archiving oral stories.
SFF audio collects and archives anonymous stories that would otherwise be lost, and exchanges them for food. We Love Stories aspires to take the visitors of the festival on a journey to different parts of the world, through stories of strangers and folktales, and to also give them the opportunity to record their own stories in the SFF Story Audio Archive.
Each story will be exchanged for a coffee in different parts of the city, while food gift vouchers will be offered to unemployed people. We will also record stories from the Roma communities in Chania that will be presented on the social media of We Love Stories during the festival.
Organized by Story For Food in collaboration with the NGO I.D.E.A. and the support of the Region of Chania and the Municipality of Chania
