UiB Digital Culture, in cooperation with Alliance Française de Bergen presents a screening of the documentary film THE LANGUAGE OF WINE: AN ANTHROPOLOGY OF WORK, WINE, AND THE SENSES, and discussion with the filmmaker Roderick Coover, followed by a tasting of wines from Bourgogne. Hosted by the Alliance Française de Bergen, Vågsallmenningen 12 (Gamle Norges Bank) (3. etasje). Fee for wine tasting: 150 NOK. Please RSVP Daniel Jung (jung@uib.no). The Language of Wine is a documentary film/DVD that presents a story about the lives of Burgundian winemakers through 13 vignettes that take place in vineyards, cellars, and winemakers' homes. Recorded in the anthropological tradition of participant observation, the documentary transports viewers to a world behind the media gloss and harvest festivities - a world shaped by very particular experiences, goals and challenges.
