Eating involves all the senses. This series of short films gives you a glimpse inside the heads of the main characters, and invites you to experience smells, memories and desires with them. This block is particularly special because it includes three Dutch and one world premiere.

PLEASE NOTE: The director of Encarnación, Tanja Nabben, will be present after both screenings for a Q&A.

When the Latvian Maira thinks back to her youth, one thing stands out: a packet of instant soup with a picture of a cockerel on it. It was a gift from her father after a trip to Yugoslavia. During the Soviet Union, foreign products were scarce and exciting. Maira has been fascinated by the cockerel and instant soup ever since. Besides a personal story, the film is also a portrait of the Soviet Union and the significance of food in a period of political unrest.

Everything about a pig is fantastic except its squeal. A wonderful animation about nose-to-tail eating.

A beautiful look at rural life as it was intended!
