“Trust in Taste” is the motto of the 6th Culinary Cinema of the Berlinale that will be held from February 12 to 17, 2012. 15 films about food and the environment will be presented in the Martin-Gropius-Bau.
“Food is a matter of trust,” Dieter Kosslick says about this year’s motto. “Consumers shouldn’t just focus on organic tags and finely printed labels, but above all trust their sense of taste. Experienced cooks can taste if food has been industrially mass produced, and if binders, flavour enhancers or other additives have been used. Taste is a matter of experience and that’s what you can also gain at the Berlinale’s Culinary Cinema.”
Following the screenings in the main programme, at 7:30 pm, renowned chef Sonja Frühsammer and star chefs Michael Kempf, Christian Lohse, Marco Müller from Berlin as well as Andoni Luis Aduriz from the Basque Country will each serve a meal inspired by the films in the “Gropius Mirror” restaurant, an elegant tent lined with mirrors.
The late screenings at 10 p.m. will focus on social and ecological topics.
