Description

Food is a profound expression of heritage, capturing the traditions, values, and stories that define our culture. It reflects the historical influences and regional ingredients that shape our identity. By sharing our food traditions and recipes, we celebrate our customs and honour and sustain the rich tapestry of our heritage. This act of sharing is an act of love. The Michoacán Files beautifully illustrates this love, exploring the rich culinary traditions of Mexico and showcasing how deeply food connects us to our past, our culture, and the world. Tickets include an opening reception at Taco Taco (319 Augusta Ave, Toronto) The Michoacan File Bernardo Arsuaga 2023 - Mexico/Canada - 91’ - Documentary Toronto Premiere James Beard Awards 2024, Taste Awards 2024, Best feature documentary Newport Beach Film Festival 2023 The Michoacan File is a new documentary that explains Mexican food's origin, history, and impact on modern society. For over 300 years, Mexico was where European and Asian trade routes collided, leaving behind a vast and robust gastronomic culture with an enormous recipe repertoire, which explains why Mexican food is infinite in recipes, varieties, and flavors today. In 2010, UNESCO designated Mexican food as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, and for the first time, a gastronomic culture was to be protected and elevated to the same level as art or science. Exploring the past and present and told from the point of view of culinary experts, anthropologists, and traditional cooks actively engaged in this debate, The Michoacan File is a timely, culturally significant, and provocative documentary film that challenges and ultimately deconstructs what we understand about Mexican Food. About the director: Mexico 1975. Lawyer. Married. They are based in Montreal. Films: The Weekend Sailor 2016 The Michoacan File 2023 Trailer: https://vimeo.com/844922592
