What to Eat While Watching an Argentinean Film

Perhaps as you read this you may be wondering what the three Argentinean films (plus one American film about soccer) have to do with a blog about Argentinean recipes.

I mentioned in my previous post that I did some work for the Starz Denver Film Festival this year, screening films and writing program notes.  But beyond that, I find that watching films are a wonderful way to learn about culture, language and even the thoughts and mannerisms of a country's people.  I was lucky enough to get to watch a number of wonderful independent films this fall, so I urge you, even if you don't reside in Denver, to check out the lineup on the SDFF's website.  (And that goes for films from any culture--the festival's featured country this year is Iran, which has produced some unforgettable entries that are included in this year's festival!)
