Festival

Chania, Crete

We Love Stories is an International Storytelling and Performing Arts Festival that takes place in Chania, Crete. Through literature, visual, and performing arts we share stories and folk tales from different parts of the world with the participation of international artists.

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. Co-organizers of the festival are the Region of Crete, the Municipality of Chania, and the Foundation "OurStories".

We Love Stories aspires to give the visitors of the festival the opportunity to record their own stories in the SFF Story Audio Archive. Each story recording is exchanged for a coffee in different parts of the city, while food gift vouchers are offered to unemployed people. Stories from specific communities (immigrants, Roma, etc.) are also recorded within the frame of the festival.
