Festival Internacional del Nuevo Cine Latinoamericano

Motivation:

For giving us a gripping account of life in a dramatic restaurant kitchen, staged with an exuberant cinematic language that perfectly underlines the film’s human themes that not only covers love and passion but also provides an important critique of capitalism where the labor of illegal immigrants becomes the problematic foundation of modern cuisine. We are delighted to give the FIPRESCI award to “La Cocina”
