Скачать или смотреть Preserving Taste: Iranian Flavors in California

In the era of food sustainability, Hanif Sadr, an engineer turned chef from Tehran, Iran, has opened his first Iranian regional restaurant in San Francisco, USA. He delved into the farm to table gastronomy world after working as a cook for a Montessori school in Berkley. His mission is to introduce the regional and seasonal recipes of Northern Iran, learnt from his childhood, to the North American public where its ingredients geographically match California. With his wife banned from the US, and a lack of distribution of Iranian food ingredients, he travels back and forth between Iran and the U.S, attempting to bridge the personal and political to bring back a taste of home. Alongside other renowned food figures Hanif aims to show the depth of a unique forgotten cuisine that is connected with nature, influenced by seasons, and which defines the art of preservation techniques.

The documentary, directed and shot by Gelareh Kiazand, is a James Beard media nominee having won best cinematography at NYWIFT’s iWoman film festival, best short doc at the Taste Awards in LA, best director at Ambrosia Food and Drink film festival, finalist at Sheffield Global Cinema festival, semi-finalist at the Canadian Shorts film festival as well being showcased at Ceres NY film festival, Japan World film festival, International film festival at the Hague, Venice Shorts in LA and Oberursel film festival.
