If you’re a professional filmmaker or film student and want to submit a proposal for your own Grandma film, please click here to be added to our contact list. We expect to launch a new call for filmmakers in 2023 and will get back to you then. Selected filmmakers have to follow three simple rules:

filming their own grandma

showing one recipe

press quotes

“Talking about food means so much more than talking about food.”

(Français) « Avec ce projet c’est l’envie de partager, de conserver, de transmettre qui aujourd’hui est important. La mémoire disparaît et on en a besoin »

“What’s trending right now is to participate to Grandmas Project”

“It is not only spices and olive oil but memory and transmission”

“Avós são sempre avós, em todo lugar: cheias de mimos, apelidos carinhosos (às vezes a paciência um pouco curta), e muita história para contar”

“An idea both endearing and appealing!”

Grandmas Project is an independent production made possible by you, the crowd. It has been supported twice on Kickstarter (2015 and 2019) and the season 2 is supported by three French organizations: La Ruche qui dit Oui !, Les Petits Frères des Pauvres and Harmonie Mutuelle. We very humbly accept PayPal donations below.
