The San Sebastian Festival joins the Tokyo Cervantes Institute to promote the programme of activities San Sebastian in Japan: SSIFF and the Tokyo Cervantes Institute, including a movie screening in the Japanese capital as well as participation in the Hokkaido Food Film Festival.
The chosen film is Mugaritz. Sin pan ni postre, winner of the Culinary Zinema Award at the Festival’s 72nd edition. The documentary directed by Paco Plaza (Verónica, La abuela / The Grandmother) goes beyond the world of food. The spectator becomes an exceptional witness of the reinvention process underway at the restaurant of Andoni Luis Aduriz, one of the most creative and influential chefs in the international scene. In addition to screening in Tokyo (on Wednesday 20th), Mugaritz. Sin pan ni postre will open the Hokkaido Food Film Festival in Sapporo on the 22nd.
Hokkaido, the second-largest island in Japan, is the country’s northernmost prefecture. Thanks to its peculiar topography, location, ocean currents and seasonal winds, it is a place of unique nature and culture, source for many years of the country’s food larder. The Hokkaido Food Film Festival will hold its first edition from November 22-24, aiming to provide a platform to connect participants, film professionals, chefs, producers and representatives of Hokkaido’s foodie and tourist industry.
In the words of José Luis Rebordinos: “Japan is a country with which we have always felt an affinity. Its food and Spanish food have enjoyed many exchanges, and each of them has influenced the other in the echelons of haute cuisine. This latest agreement with the Cervantes Institute and the Hokkaido Food Film Festival will lend even greater strength to our ties and to the relationship between the cinema and the foodie world”.
For his part, Víctor Andresco, director of the Tokyo Cervantes Institute, stressed that “the San Sebastian International Film Festival was and still is the best ambassador of Spanish cinema in Japan and this agreement is a well-deserved tribute to that invaluable work, a multiplier of the energy and passion with which both of our institutions approach the dialogue with the Japanese culture and people”.
