THE PROJECTOR

André And His Olive Tree PG New Release

Presented in eight chapters and inspired by his trademark “octaphilosophy” or Chiang’s eight elements of gastronomy: Salt, texture, memory, pure, terroir, south, artisan and unique.

Highest-grossing documentary in Taiwan

André and His Olive Tree follows Chef André as he prepares to close his beloved Restaurant André on Valentine’s Day of 2018, and return those coveted Michelin stars. This of course creates a shock to the industry, his staff, and his loved ones. This passionate perfectionist has sacrificed his childhood, battled critics and fought hard to stand out, but has decided to give it all up now. Chef André intimately reveals what’s on his plate next, and ponders what perfection truly means.

Presented in eight chapters and inspired by his trademark “octaphilosophy” or Chiang’s eight elements of gastronomy: Salt, texture, memory, pure, terroir, south, artisan and unique.

“This film, which was two years in the making, is an important one because it challenges our obsession with results and perfection. It also brings us back to a place where we realise what truly matters – our family, our home, our roots,” - Josiah Ng.

With one classic cinema hall (Green Room), one alternative entertainment space with a stage (Redrum) and a foyer café, The Projector is an ideal setting for a range of events.
