The Guests of the Fourth Edition of the Andaras Traveling Film Festival
Chef Rubio (Gabriele Rubini)
A chef, conductor and author of numerous television broadcasts and documentaries, explorer, traveler and anti-Zionist activist for the liberation of Palestine.
Being an unconventional chef, Rubio thinks that the culinary art is only a means, while the starting point and the finishing point are always the people, their experience, their history, the territory. Eclectic and versatile, he stands out for his unique approach and his distinctive language of democratic cuisine and social commitment. Rubio cultivates numerous passions in addition to TV and cooking: he is a photographer, director, writer and screenwriter.

Safir Nou
The Safir Nou project presents the new album “Liminal” in concert at Andaras. “Liminal” tells the journey of migration, expressed in terms of suspension, expectation, hope, the search for another condition, a moment between the “no more” and the “not yet”. The instrumental compositions and moments of improvisation remind of Mediterranean, Saharan and Northern European landscapes.
