Tortosa hosts the Food Film Menu 2024 awards ceremony

In the framework of the Terres Travel Festival, held in Tortosa from 13 to 21 September, on Thursday 19 September the Food Film Menu awards were presented , organised by IGCAT (International Institute of Gastronomy, Culture, Arts and Tourism). 

The event aims to give the European and World Regions of Gastronomy the chance to present audiovisual works promoting sustainable practices, products and local and traditional recipes linked to the region's gastronomy. The ceremony was the prelude to the celebrations linked to World Region of Gastronomy, a title Catalonia will hold in 2025 as the first European region to receive it — recognition that confirms the consolidation of an innovative, regenerative tourism model in which Catalonia's culinary revolution goes far beyond the restaurant and opens the door to discovering the territory and its distinctive local food production.

Catalonia was awarded for its promotional spot for the very World Region of Gastronomy 2025 distinction — a living mosaic offering a varied range of wine and farm tourism, plus experiences and activities to toast and taste the vibrant cuisine of this land, from north to south and east to west. The jury noted: "Food diversity, culinary practices and food producers in Catalonia are celebrated in this vivid, fast-paced film".

Crete won first prize with its video "Creta, Sense The Authentic – Sense the Authentic Taste":
