Posted by Cecily Layzell Aug 27, 2009

Matter of Taste, a week of culinary screenings and debates within the Lago Film Festival in Italy, has announced the winner of the Golden Frog (the festival’s logo). The award for Best Film on Food went to the short McRussia, from Romanian director Andrei Tanase. With a running time of 11’ 10”, it looks at the rising popularity of fast food restaurants in Russia.

Special mentions went to Tropezones (David Macian and Eduardo Molinari) and the excellent, wordless Tripe and Onions (Marton Szirmai). This and many of the other shorts from the program are free to view online through Daazo.
