Director Statement

Vinum is a very personal film that took many years to complete (and I don't think of it as complete). I grew up with the winery you see on the screen. It is as old as I am as it has been grown by my parents (you see them in part too). Though I'm more interested in human characters in tens of films I've made but I believe all living beings have some kind of character. This film is a very modest essay, as the French say, at its representation. A sensual one. By the way, it was abroad where I came to appreciate wine again, and enjoy it even more, this time back home in the beautiful Transcarpathia.
