Lakes Noir International Film Festival - The Lake District Festival

The Lakes Noir International Film Festival (LNIIF) is an international competitive film event entirely dedicated to Thriller, Noir, and Crime sub-genres (including Italian Giallo, Poliziottesco, and Spy Stories). The festival takes place in the elegant setting of Varese, held within the 18th-century Salone Estense and the Estensi Gardens (known as the "Versailles of Milan"), creating a unique atmosphere of contrast between the natural beauty of the lakes and the mystery of the stories on screen.COMITATO D'ECCELLENZA

FOOD FILMS _ THIS YEAR'S THEME FOR 2026: JAPAN AND ITS CUISINE

This festival, created by cinema and gastronomy professionals, was born from their passion for these two themes; and from 2 books we wrote: 'les petits plats du grand écran' (Little Dishes of the Big Screen) (1999) (Canal + edition) and Ciné-bouffe (Cinema-Food) (2001) (Hors Collection edition); as well as from a first International Film and Gastronomy Festival that took place in Dijon (2004 and 2005).

It is therefore with a 'gourmand' pleasure that we decided to once again pay tribute, through this festival, to the delicious films (whether sharp or savory) evoking gastronomy, and to the most exquisite table scenes, to try to understand why and how they were 'cooked' by the directors who imagined them.
