CALORIE Film Commission | Call for Proposals

Science Gallery Bengaluru invites filmmakers to pitch ideas for short films as part of our exhibition-season CALORIE.

Films might follow the life of a seed, a meal, or a worker—moments where consumption and transformation reveal larger systems of exchange. Each story, however small, hints at how energy shapes the conditions of our lives.

We encourage inventive engagements with the film form—fiction, documentary, essay, or hybrid. We discourage simplistic, didactic, or purely informational approaches.

CALORIE: Through Your Eyes

CALORIE: Through Your Eyes invites young photographers (between the age of 18-30) from around the world to tell the story of food through their lens—the way it grows, moves through hands and kitchens, fills plates and sometimes goes to waste. Selected participants will be mentored by an established photographer and their works will be featured in our upcoming food festival, Namma Oota.

Namma Oota Food Festival @ CALORIE | Open Call

Join us for the third edition of Namma Oota, a unique food festival serving up the science and stories behind what’s on your plate. In tune with Science Gallery Bengaluru’s current exhibition-season CALORIE, the festival puts nutrition front and centre – exploring how our food is grown, bought, cooked, digested, and even wasted. Every bite, every choice, has an impact on our health, our communities, and our planet.
