Our take

A visual feast of champagne and cakes, Peter Tscherkassky’s found-footage short brims with gastronomic jubilance. Just when the jovial atmosphere reaches a feverish peak, the superimposition of black-and-white and color images hints at the unnerving pensiveness that comes with the festive season.
