Mother Vine - Summerfield 3, 5:00 pm
Traveling throughout Portugal, including the islands of the
Azores, we’ve documented select historical wine regions
under multiple threats. From the building of second home
to European Union mandates; from financial hardship
to the unwillingness of a younger generation to follow,
Portugal is very close to losing forever important elements
of it swine culture and history. Mother Vine is an effort to
introduce European and American audiences to just what is at stake as Portugal encounters
modernization. Through humor and pathos, Mother Vine follows the practices and dignified
labor of winemakers in regions unknown to all but the most traveled. Can hundreds of years
of wine culture be saved? Mother Vine ultimately says “yes.”
Ken Payton, Film Director will be hosting a Wine Tasting after the screening of
rare wines explored in the film
