FILM & FOOD FESTIVAL (convocatoria)

AIR FRANCE, celebrates 100 years of Frida Kahlo
The prestigious French airline, has always been known for having the best gastronomy on board and will be celebrating the Frida Kahlo Centenary including on their menu two dishes (fish and ….) taken from the book by GUADALUPE RIVERA MARIN, and that were presented at the 1st Festival in Huatulco. The promotion of these dishes will give Guadalupe Rivera Marín the recognition she deserves and also to the Huatulco Festival.

During the 2nd Film and Gastronomy Festival in Huatulco, we will pay homage to the Gaul Raymond Turquois, the distinguished winner of the Aguila Azteca prize in 2005 for his philanthropy and propagating Mexican cuisine.
Annually the foundation gives grants to more that twenty Mexican gastronomy students who will previously receive intensive French courses in Mexico to then go on and travel to Monte Carlo and carry out practical blocks in prestigious hotels and restaurants like the Hotel Paris of Monte Carlo.
This generous French man who came to Mexico at the end of the 1940s for three months and stayed here for thirty years. Turquois will be receiving a well earnt homage next November.

The most important Latin-American film Festival, projects and replicates the homage to Gustavo Alatriste. Commentaries about this homage like those found by Elena Poniatowska in the Lopez Dorigas newsreel dated 7/12/06 give credit to the result of this honor.

Cartagena cheered with Mezcal from “Don Willo” and where filmmakers like Miguel Littin, paid to García Márquez for his 80 years here with us.
