Madrid was the setting on May 28 for a unique experience that merges cinema and gastronomy, with the premiere of the documentary “Buda Jumps the Wall,” directed by Pedro Peira. This event took place at Cines Embajadores and was sponsored by Reyno Gourmet, allowing more than 100 attendees to enjoy a multisensory evening that combined the screening of the documentary with a delicate menu based on Navarrese products.
The documentary follows the journey of acclaimed Navarrese chef David Yárnoz, who runs a renowned fine dining restaurant in Navarre and has opened a branch in Taipei, Taiwan. The screening was a success, filling all available seats. During the event, attendees sampled traditional Navarrese delicacies, including Navarre Asparagus, Roncal Cheese DOP, and the famous Suspiro de IG Pacharán Navarro, all paired with D.O. Navarra Red Wine.
Among those present were prominent figures such as the film’s director, Pedro Peira, and the head of Reyno Gourmet, Joseba Beitia. The president of the Navarre Academy of Gastronomy, Martín Sarobe, was also in attendance. The film, which has been presented at various international festivals, not only celebrates Yárnoz’s talent but also pays tribute to the rich Navarrese cuisine and its representatives.
The documentary recounts Yárnoz’s experiences visiting his restaurant in Taiwan after three years away due to the pandemic. On this journey, the Navarrese chef discovers both similarities and differences in local cuisine and develops a friendship with Taiwanese chef Kai Ho, enriching the narrative and offering a reflection on the cultural and culinary diversity of both regions.
The work has been well received at multiple recognized festivals and recently participated in the Málaga Festival, with upcoming screenings scheduled in places such as Gastrometraje Zaragoza and the Genuss Film Festival in Switzerland. With direction that highlights the interplay between cuisine and cinema, “Buda Jumps the Wall” stands out as an invitation to enjoy these two forms of art together.
