The Oscar-winning short film about artificial intelligence and the "Kitchen of the Future" dinner will be shown in Tenerife.
At the Famtàstic festival in Tenerife, the short film "I Am Not a Robot," which won an Oscar in 2025, will be screened, and a culinary journey into the future with chef Carlos Gamonal will be offered.
The Famtàstic festival is calling you to a cool event on September 26 at the El Sauzal Theater in Tenerife! They will be showing the short film "I am not a robot" (Ik ben geen robot) by a director from the Netherlands, Victoria Warmerdam. Imagine, this film won an Oscar in 2025! The screening is part of the "Robots + AI" evening, which is one of the main themes of this year's festival.
But "I am not a robot" is just the beginning! The program also includes short films, delicious food from chefs and live performances. This year's theme is "Robots + AI (Special Edition: The Past That Never Was, the Future We Await)". The same will be in Barcelona on November 7 and in Gran Canaria on November 21.
The film "I am not a robot" won an Oscar for Best Short Film at the 97th ceremony, which took place on March 2, 2025.
This film, about 20-22 minutes long, co-produced by Belgium and the Netherlands, tells the story of Lara, a music producer. She can't pass the "Captcha" test and begins to wonder if she is human at all. The film talks about who we are, whether we can control our bodies, and how humans intersect with artificial intelligence, which is becoming more and more prevalent in our lives.
In El Sauzal, you will be able to watch a selection of short films about technology, robots, artificial intelligence and how it all affects us. There will also be various pleasant things for the senses, great food from local chefs and performances that will show how a person is connected to a machine. (Famtastic always does this: combines different arts to make us think and feel emotions).
Cuisine of the Future from Gamonal
On the same evening, Famtastic invites you on a culinary journey into the future called "Cuisine of the Future". Chef Carlos Gamonal (Mesón El Drago) will show what he has come up with. He believes that artificial intelligence is not a threat to cooking, but the best assistant. Famtàstic will show how this technology is changing the kitchen: making it more modern and environmentally friendly. AI allows you to cook food exactly as the guest wants, while wasting less food.
Thanks to smart algorithms, AI helps to come up with new recipes and improves agriculture, so that there will be more organic products in the future. Carlos Gamonal will prepare the following dishes: "Algofio 100plus", "Snacks de frutos secos Gofiosfera", "Foiegrasescabechado con hibiscus", "Ensalada de superalimentos V6.7", "Potaje de antioxidantes", "Carne fiesta v7.1" and "Bienmesabe de almendras con plátano y chocolate".
