A Film About Identity
The film, titled “Denomination of Origin,” delves into the real-life dispute between San Carlos and Chillán over the origin of what is considered “the best sausage in Chile.” The narrative is inspired by a 2018 incident during the Longaniza festival, organized by the regional capital, where San Carlos residents fought to reclaim the denomination that had been taken by chillán.
The controversy stemmed from a contest rule stipulating that the winner must reside in Chillán, despite the prize initially being awarded to a San carlos manufacturer. The film captures the essence of this struggle and the community’s determination to preserve its heritage.
This film, denomination of origin, not only shows our roots, but it fills us with pride to see how our traditions come alive on the screen. This event is an invitation to enjoy the cinema made with the heart of San Carlos,to share with our families and community. I am convinced that it will be a unique experience, an possibility to celebrate our identity.
