The 8th edition of the Grand Prix : Great Expectations
It's been over a month now since the Grand Prix kicked off and I've never (neither in real life or print) used this many superlatives in my whole life. The "best", the "top"-bartenders, "most international", "greatest honor", etc… this is what you could hear in La Habana straight from the participants themselves!
I guess this series of films is simply going to corroborate the spirit of the people who have been writing on the blog. Shot right at the beginning of the event, documenting the 41 participants' arrivals, this first edit captures some of the attendee’s expectations for the 8th edition of the Havana Club Grand Prix. The film contains footage of Tony Conigliaro, Andrew Nicholls, Ian Burrell, Marcis Dzelzainis, Giuseppe Santamaria and many others.
Some of the participants confess their excitement and apprehension as to what they hope to achieve and witness, whereas others acknowledge the pilgrimage aspect of this event which takes place in such a historical place for bartenders. But everybody agrees on one point, and that is the great prestige of this unique gathering.
Did I just use too many superlatives?
