A food and love story is the first gastronomic short film made in Menorca, a fictional story from the 90’s to the present day, which tells the story of so many Menorcan children, who interact and make friends with tourists on the island showing how people live and eat in Menorca. In this case, we wanted to tell the story of a child who has the dream of being a chef. One summer, he meets a foreign little girl with whom he makes great friends but who returns home once the holidays are over. Years later, life makes them match again and they meet again.[/vc_column_text][/trx_toggles_item][trx_toggles_item title=”Credits”][vc_column_text]BENDITO FILMS

Colourful, tasty, joyful… : the gastronomy of Hauts-de-France cultivates the diversity of its flavours, know-hows and terroirs and a state of mind which have earned it to become the first French region to be labeled European Region of Gastronomy 2023. A candidature submitted under the sponsorship of Alexandre Gauthier, two-Michelin-starred-chef at La Grenouillère (Michelin 2021).
Through those who make the gastronomy of Hauts-de-France, this film shows the commitment of an entire sector dedicated to “eating better.” Chefs, artisans and producers embody innovation but also reinvented tradition, talent, energy, enthusiasm, and the values of hospitality and sharing forever dear to the people of Hauts-de-France. They tell us about the passion that drives them, and their love for their region in a sincere and moving way.
A land that’s likely to have a soothing effect on those that visit, the Hauts-de-France region also calls for well-being on the plate. Producers and chefs are bringing local, “home-made” and “seasonal” produce to the menu, with all the generosity of “people from the north” of France. From gourmet restaurants to authentic taverns, trendy tables to country bistros, you eat as you live here: well with yourself, with others and with the planet!
This film symbolises the “art of taking care” that is very dear to people of Hauts-de-France region, making the beautiful values of inclusive and eco-responsible gastronomy shine through.[/vc_column_text][/trx_toggles_item][trx_toggles_item title=”Credits”][vc_column_text]Director:

New video highlights Slovenia’s green gastronomy as one of the key reasons to visit.
As Slovenia reopens again to tourists, the country has unveiled a new ‘green gastronomy’ video that offers an insight into why it is the perfect choice for a culinary adventure holiday. It also explores the close connection between first time Michelin stars awarded chefs, producers and the natural world that has led to Slovenia having been named European Region of Gastronomy 2021.
Slovenia: Europe’s Most Exciting New Culinary Capital – As the new video showcases, the unique advantage of Slovenian chefs is their privileged access to local ingredients. Slovenian culinary philosophy is based on the principle ‘from the garden to table’ and this is reflected in the close relationships between chefs and local producers, as well as the deep connections between Slovenian landscapes and traditional culinary experiences. It is these close relationships, as well as a dedication to sustainability in all areas, that have led to Slovenia having been named European Region of Gastronomy 2021 as well as being recognised as one of Europe’s most exciting new culinary capitals.
A unique insight into Slovenian gastronomy – Through the video, viewers will get to know the character and life of all six owners of a coveted Michelin star (Hiša Franko, two Michelin star Restaurant, Hiša Denk, Atelje Restaurant, Vila Podvin, Dam Restaurant and Gostilna pri Lojzetu, all one Michelin star Restaurants), and explore how their relationships with local producers help define and inspire their world class culinary creations. Chefs Ana Roš, Gregor Vračko, Jorg Zupan, Uroš Štefelin, Uroš Fakuč and Tomaž Kavčič are all presented in the video with the opportunity for viewers to share their vision, dedicated work, passion and love for food and the environment.
Of course, no video about Slovenia would be complete without a look at the unspoiled nature and environment that helps create such a variety of unique local ingredients. It also includes a look at Slovenia’s award-winning winemakers, who are now being recognised by experts such as Decanter magazine as some of the best in the world.
The video was created in collaboration with the Slovenian Tourist Board with renowned National Geographic photographer and director Ciril Jazbec, internationally renowned director of photography Sven Pepeonik and food stylist Gruša Zorn.
The video was an instant huge success all over the media and also got it’s first international award – Best International Video Promoting a Tourism Product FITUR 2021[/vc_column_text][/trx_toggles_item][trx_toggles_item title=”Credits”][vc_column_text]Director:

While the world is struggling to survive the catastrophe, many are debating about the unknown future. In this little town “Samut Songkhram”, many hands put together just wanting to have a peaceful co-existence with their nature. Unique eco-system was given by its geographical location, where the river flows through the open sea. There will always be certain period of time in the day where the sea water and river stream merge. All raised farms or orchards are adapted to this natural system. This smallest town in Thailand with a size of only 416.7 SQKM, has nurtured food supply for the entire country. Thai food needs their produces of basic and vital ingredients, coconut sugar, coconut, shrimp, or krill paste, fish source, and sea salt. With their rich soil, this is the best place for super sweet pomelo and lychee. Not many people know that they have been fed by Samut Songkhram’s people.
This documentary film manifests a simple daily life that is in danger because of the fast-changing pace of urbanisation. Current food security narratives must re-look at the traditions developed over centuries forming the vital ‘DNA’ of food cultures and how local people learn, adapt, and simply just listen to nature.[/vc_column_text][/trx_toggles_item][trx_toggles_item title=”Credits”][vc_column_text]Produced by:
