SayulitaLife: Films and Tequila. Seems like a bit of a strange match. What inspired this?

 

Gabbi: For some of us, this is a very natural pairing! Not only because enjoying any sort of art with a bit of Tequila is sure to add to the texture of the experience, but watching a film while enjoying a fine Tequila (in our minds no different, if not better, than a fine wine) is sure to make the nuances of the films stand out! Also it is important to note that this Festival is not just Tequila and Film, but also food, Music and most importantly Sayulita! The name says it all = Festival Sayulita! We are really pairing Sayulita with these great avenues of enjoyment, and Film and Tequila are just 2 of many. Read entire interview.

The first annual three day,three night Festival Sayulita celebrating film, music, tequila, art and surf in Sayulita kicked off with a grand opening celebration in the plaza on Thursday January 16th. There was folklore dance, a mariachi band, art walk and a lot of tequila at last night's opening event! The atmosphere was fun and energetic as people started to come out to the opening celebration starting at 4PM. The same evening, festival goers enjoyed films on the huge seven-meter screen on the beach just outside of Don Pedro's Restaurant including a surf documentary titled Bella Vita. Read more

Festival Sayulita held a special VIP screening premier of Leonora Carrington The Surrealist Game Tuesday night at Playa Escondida. In the middle of this exciting, vivid film about British-born artist Leonora Carrington, she states that her life was "boring and ordinary." That may be the epic understatement of all time. In fact, her life was wild, exciting, passionate and full of escapes-First from an oppressive upper middle class life in Lancashire, England, from a psychiatric hospital in Spain and finally, to an artistic home in Mexico City, where she painted with the best of the surrealists and outlived them all. Read more  

Does that sound a bit strange? Well, here is some taste news. After all, when you think about it, a fine tequila takes as much skill and effort to craft as a fine wine. Everyone has some favorite wine and food pairings and you will find tequila and food pairings just as interesting and with a bit more zip! Read more
