Join us for an evening screening of Food Biographies, a documentary miniseries that delves into Baja California's rich ecosystems and culinary heritage, followed by a Nat Talk from Dr. Carolina Gutierrez—film producer and traditional food systems researcher.
Dr. Carolina Gutierrez Sanchez holds a PhD in environment and development, with a focus on wild edible plants and interdisciplinary methodologies to study food culture. She is a chef, researcher, and producer of the docuseries Food Biographies.
Through the personal stories of gatherers, hunters, farmers, and fishermen, Food Biographies showcases the intricate relationships between people and the landscapes that sustain them. In the second season of Food Biographies, we journey along Baja California's Pacific coast to highlight the knowledge and memories of local fishermen, cooks, and chefs, revealing the deep connection between the landscape and the region's culinary traditions.
After the documentary miniseries showing, Dr. Carolina Gutierrez will share the process behind making the films and open the floor for the audience to ask questions about the film and Baja California’s culinary landscapes.
The short films will be in Spanish with English subtitles and the Nat Talk will be hosted in English.
