Constructing Albert (Virtual Cinema)

May 29-June 11 | Not Rated | 82 min | Directed by Laura Collado and Jim Loomis
Albert Adrià played a key role in the creation of elBulli, the greatest restaurant in history. Now escaping the shadow of his famous brother-chef Ferran, Albert is seeking his own success.

elBulli sparked from the minds of the two brothers, and gave birth to a new gastronomic universe. Since then, the name Adrià has become synonymous of creativity.

Ferran is the famous maestro people know; the only recognition Albert has achieved is being the most underrated chef in the world.

Two years after elBulli closed its doors, Albert is in the midst of a herculean creative adventure. In Parallel, Barcelona’s crumbling theatre district, Albert is building a gastronomic mile.

Each restaurant is very different from the other, but they all bear his personal signature. This is Albert’s proclamation of self-assurance, his attempt to escape the shadow of the now legendary elBulli, and enter the Pantheon of great chefs. This is Albert constructing himself.
