In Vino Veritas: A film by Geoffrey Finch

September 10, 2009

Geoffrey Finch born in Victoria, B.C now lives full time in Paris, France. He currently teaches biodynamic agriculture and its influence on the future of wine at Sciences Po in Paris. For the last seven years he has been researching and producing material for a film he is making on biodynamic wine growing.

Finch believes that chemical farming methods are impacting nature’s inherent equilibrium and explores how a powerful movement to more natural farming methods may have implications for the survival of the planet. His film takes us to the heart of biodynamics and discovers why a growing number of winemakers are adopting biodynamic methods. How does biodynamic farming differ from organics? Have we seen any specific evidence that biodynamic farming increases soil biodiversity and encourages deeper rooting? Is there a link between biodynamics and quality? These are examples of the questions that Finch attempts to answer throughout the film.

Here is 20 minutes of teaser footage from 'In Vino Veritas' in two parts:
