The Film & Food Festival Huatulco, running from November 23 - 26 is sure to be a popular event around town this weekend.
The Municipality of Huatulco, the Huatulco Hotel Association and the Ministry of Tourism, with the support of FONATUR and the Tourism Promotion Council, created the Food & Film Festival as a tourist event but also with the intention of promoting and encouraging the cultural aspects of cinema and gastronomy, particularly as it relates to Oaxaca.
In the words of the organizer of this festival, “It is an event to celebrate the commonalities between two cultural events: the cinema and gastronomy viewed as expressions of identity. In gifted hands, cinema and cuisine express a form of art, their origins reunite.”

The 7th annual cooking contest, featuring Pre-Columbian food will be held on Saturday, November 26th, at the Teatro del Mar in Santa Cruz at 4pm. In pre-Hispanic cuisine they had a variety of dishes. Contrary to what is generally believed, their daily menu was not limited but was actually full of different flavors. They have learned that the Aztecs were people of "good taste" and comparable to the finest gourmet foods of other important cultures.
