The Almadraba tradition in the spotlight on the second day of Cinema Cocina at the Festival de Málaga
The feature film Todos los días domingo, by Abraham López Feria, explores the memory of a family trade linked to the Huelva coast

The second day of Cinema Cocina transported the Festival de Málaga audience to the Huelva coast to explore a story marked by work, memory, and family heritage. The Echegaray Theatre hosted the screening of Todos los días domingo,  by Abraham López Feria, an Official Competition feature film that reflects on the disappearance of traditional trades linked to tuna.
 
The film follows Domingo Feria, who dedicated his entire life to the production of salted fish and mojama (dried tuna), an activity deeply connected to the almadraba tradition.  But beyond the personal story, it also offers a perspective on collective identity and the link between the land and the craft.
 
During the presentation, attendees enjoyed orange wine from the Condado de Huelva Regulatory Council and strawberries from the Fresones de Palos Cooperative, a perfect pairing as they watched the film. The screening was followed by a discussion with members of the team:  Abraham López Feria, Director; Antonio Aguilera, writer; and Raúl Rodríguez, musician and composer of the original soundtrack.
 
In the words of Álvaro Muñoz of Lumen Producciones Gastronómicas, this is “one of those documentaries that transcends the plate. A film with great sensitivity”, which he went so far as to call “one of the most beautiful projects that has come through Cinema Cocina in these nine years”, assuring the director: "You’ve touched a deep place; you have such a beautiful story in your family and your city, and you had the desire to turn it into a documentary.".
 
Abraham López Feria, moved by the audience's reaction, admitted to feeling like he was in a dream, saying he thoroughly enjoyed the process: "It's been a beautiful journey. When I started filming my grandparents 10 years ago, it was going to be a personal archive, something to keep as a memento". But then his grandfather started telling his story, and he realised there was something there worth sharing.
 
For their part, both Antonio Aguilera and Raúl Rodríguez were delighted with the final result, which they hadn't seen before. Aguilera said, "You'd have to watch the film with a dictionary in hand to fully appreciate all the vocabulary of Huelva". Rodríguez emphasised the importance of remembering the past.
 
During the discussion, attendees enjoyed a tasting of white wine from the Condado de Huelva Regulatory Council; mojama (cured tuna) from Isla Cristina, from the Unión Salazonera Isleña; and white shrimp from Ayamonte, from the OPP8o Armadores de Punta del Moral.
 
Cinema Cocina continues this Monday with two short films from the official competition: Montse. La penúltima bodega and Piedra a piedra.
