Felipe Ugarte's and Juantxo Sardon's Mugaritz B.S.O, a documentary that shows how musician Felipe Ugarte translates delicious and visually pleasing culinary dishes made by the Basque star chef Luis Aduriz into music, will have its premiere on Monday in the 62nd Berlin Film Festival.

'Mugaritz BSO', depict the full background and development of the project, a gastronomic-musical collaborative project that creates a world of sound using the culinary experience represented by some of its dishes. Thorough knowledge about the history, technique, philosophy, ingredients and presentation of each dish have been transformed into songs that reflect those same aspirations, yet through music.

The documentary film shows the process of creation of the songs, from the preparation of the dishes and trips to Ethiopia and Peru in search of melodies, to the studio recordings, showing and mixing gastronomic development with musical creation.

Mugaritz B.S.O, will be part of "Trust in Taste", the 6th Culinary Cinema of the 62nd Berlinale where gastronomy and cinema will meet once again. Fifteen films about food and the environment will be presented in the Martin-Gropius-Bau.

Following the screenings, renowned chef Sonja Frühsammer and star chefs Michael Kempf, Christian Lohse, Marco Müller from Berlin as well as Andoni Luis Aduriz from the Basque Country will each serve a meal inspired by the films in the Gropius Mirror restaurant, an elegant tent lined with mirrors.
