Dutch Doc The Rainbow Warriors of Waiheke Island selected for Berlins “In The Food For Love”
“In The Food For Love” is the motto of the Berlinale’s 4th Culinary Cinema, which will be held from February 14 to 19, 2010. Eleven films revolving around the relationship between food and love, nature, and the environment will be presented in the movie theatre at the Martin-Gropius-Bau. Following the 7:30 p.m. screenings in the main programme, star chefs Thomas Kammeier, Michael Kempf, Lea Linster, Christian Lohse, and Tim Raue will present dinners inspired by the films in the “Gropius Mirror” restaurant, a tent lined with mirrors.
From the Netherlands the Documentary The Rainbow Warriors of Waiheke Island, directed by Suzanne Raes and produced by IDTV Docs, is selected for the programme.
“The concept for the series has proven successful”, says festival director Dieter Kosslick, “we show films that whet our audiences’ appetites and then we cook for them. Though we also show films that ruin their appetites, for instance, films that open their eyes to the catastrophic global food situation.”
