In the ancient Greek myths, ambrosia is the food or drink of the Greek gods, conferring longevity or immortality upon whoever consumed it. It was with ambrosia Hera "cleansed all defilement from her lovely flesh", and with ambrosia Athena prepared Penelope in her sleep, so that when she appeared for the final time before her suitors, the effects of years had been stripped away, and they were inflamed with passion at the sight of her.
The consumption of ambrosia was typically reserved for divine beings. In the Odyssey and the Iliad, Homer uses the word ambrosia for three things: the food of the Olympians, a salve used to treat corpses, and as a perfume to cover up the smell of uncured seal skins. Regardless of all this confusion, the word is now used metaphorically to mean anything so fragrant, so delicious that it seems divine "delightful food and drink".
Food and drink is a necessity of life, right? We are what we eat – mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. We live in a world of extremes with food starvation on one side to gluttony on the other. And yet there are those who live with abundance at their fingertips and the means to healthy and delicious meals yet chose to feast on empty nutrition. Small things can and do bring joy. Foodie loves both the simplicity and complexity of food and drink, respects food, eats mindfully, give thanks for every bite or sip, curious to know how food is prepared, preserved, and planted, always on the lookout to learn, grow, share, and serve.
Ambrosia Food & Drink Film Festival solely dedicated to films focused on food and drink, as well as those films, where food and drink is an important part of the synopsis (or may be for one memorable scene). We admit short and feature films, animation, documentary, web series, music video, how-to cooking and recipe video and commercials with, or about food/drink, cuisine, cooking, baking, restaurants, cafes, pubs, eating, drinking, tasting and/or meals, wine, tea, coffee and soft drinks, delicious dishes from upmarket restaurant with famous chef, fast food, vegetarian food, healthy food, simple food and street food.

A Prefeitura do Município de Araraquara, através da Secretaria Municipal de Cultura e FUNDART, comunica que estão abertas as inscrições para edital de premiação em produções audiovisuais a integrarem a 10ª Mostra Audiovisual “Wallace Leal Valentin Rodrigues”.
Será a segunda edição da Mostra Wallace em meio a uma pandemia global que impactou significativamente a maneira de nos relacionar, que nos fez estabelecer novas relações com o tempo e o espaço e modificou significativamente o modo de fazer e de usufruir o audiovisual.
A percepção da história é a de que os momentos de crise seguem para um processo inerente de transformações e a arte é um dos primeiros movimentos a procurar traduzir esses recomeços, a construção de novos mundos. De um cenário de incertezas e desequilíbrio no qual estamos, de um momento em que começamos a vislumbrar um possível (e cuidadoso!) retorno a esse mundo que já não é mais o mesmo, interessa a esta edição da Mostra Wallace as histórias de sobrevivências, os recomeços e reinvenções e as estratégias de luta frente ao desmonte.
Estaremos atentes às diversidades, aos processos de coletivos e a elaboração comunitária. Após o intenso período de experimentações on-line, queremos dialogar sobre as fronteiras entre virtual e o presencial, as novas linguagens e formatos, a criação para além da reprodutibilidade técnica e compartilhamento descontrolado.
