Reseñas
Entrevista con Irene M. Borrego
Dubravka Lakić (FIPRESCI). Politika Newspaper
«Un auténtico ensayo cinematográfico sobre el trabajo diario, la perseverancia y la fe. Una película de un silencio sublime y una atmósfera especial. Muy buen trabajo. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.»
Christopher Smail. White Coffee Magazine
«(…) Una búsqueda cinematográfica de lo invisible a través del prisma de una pequeña igesia ortodoxa de la Serbia rural. Una profunda exploración de la fe que no debería dejar de verse.»
Clara Martínez Malagelada. Sala 1, Revista Digital de Cine
«Los Panes y los Peces es un silencioso retrato sobre la fe que un hombre, Mirko, deposita en el cuidado y la preparación de una sencilla iglesia. Su gesto, como aquella pequeñísima cantidad de alimento que ofreció Jesús, también es capaz de dar de «comer» a toda una multitud.
Filmado con gran detalle y respeto, Irene M. Borrego ahonda en la esencia de esta comunidad serbia ortodoxa, logrando recrear una bellísima atmósfera de fe, dedicación, persistencia y consagración.»

Interview with Irene M. Borrego

«A true cinematic essay on daily work, perseverance and faith. A film of sublime silence and special atmosphere. Very good. I highly recommend it.»
Christopher Smail. White Coffee Magazine
«(…) A cinematographic exploration of the invisible, through the prism of a small Orthodox church in rural Serbia. A profound exploration of faith, it should not be missed.»
Clara Martínez Malagelada. Sala 1, Revista Digital de Cine
«The Loaves and Fish is a silent portrait of the faith that a man, Mirko, places in taking daily care of a small church. His gesture, as the tiny piece of nourishment Jesus offered, is also capable to “feed” a whole community.
Filmed with great respect and attention to detail, Irene M. Borrego delves with this work into the very essence of this Serbian Orthodox community, recreating a beautiful atmosphere of faith, commitment, perseverance and dedication.»
