not a filmmaker? no worries!
We’re welcoming contributions from anyone. Send us one photo of your grandma and a short text about her or simply use the hashtag #grandmasproject on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.

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!”
