Caviar of Short Films / Session 1: Where Cinema Meets Gastronomy

Welcome to Caviar of Short Films — a one-of-a-kind sensory experience where cinematic storytelling and gastronomic artistry converge. Session 1 features five bold, award-contending short films from Spain and Mexico, each paired with a curated tasting menu designed to echo its themes and textures. Dive into Albert G. Moreno’s Allergy (19 min), a wry, visually striking allegory of social exclusion; Francisca de Julia Polanco’s tender Mexican gem The Recipe Book (5 min), celebrating intergenerational memory through food; Mayka Braña’s energetic Galician folk-infused Furnacho Bota Viño! (19 min); María Espejo’s poignant Las nuestras (4:48 min), a quiet ode to rural sisterhood; and Sonia López de Santiago’s satirical Mission Diet (6:33 min), skewering wellness culture with sharp wit. The evening includes film screening, guided tastings, and post-screening conversation — all set in the intimate, acoustically refined space of Santa Cruz Cinema in central Madrid.
