Caviar de Cortometrajes — Session 2: Where Short Films Meet Gastronomy

Welcome to Session 2 of Caviar de Cortometrajes, a distinctive cultural initiative that fuses short-form cinema with immersive gastronomic experiences. This evening features four compelling short films from Colombia, Mexico, and Spain—each a nuanced exploration of identity, memory, intimacy, and everyday poetry.

Screening lineup:

• ‘Origen’ (Colombia, 15 min) by Laura Katherine & García Patiño — a lyrical debut tracing ancestral roots through fragmented family archives and migration narratives;
• ‘Papas con choco’ (Colombia/Spain, 19 min) by Antonio Castro & Rebeca Fuentes — a tender, sensorial portrait of childhood curiosity and intergenerational miscommunication;
• ‘Priorizarse’ (Mexico, 7 min) by Terry Esparza & Natalia Pontaque — a minimalist yet resonant meditation on self-care as radical act;
• ‘Rosquillas’ (Spain, 15 min) by José Miguel Santacreu Cortés — a black-and-white allegory about ritual, repetition, and the quiet resilience of tradition.

The session takes place at Cine La Plaza in Madrid — a beloved independent cinema renowned for its commitment to experimental storytelling and cross-disciplinary programming. A curated gastronomic intermission awaits guests, featuring artisanal bites and beverages inspired by each film’s cultural texture: Colombian cacao infusions, Spanish rosquillas, and more. Admission is free but requires advance registration due to limited capacity.
