The 16th OENOVIDEO International Grape and Wine Film Festival will be held on May 9-10, 2009 in the city of Nuits-Saint-Georges (Burgundy, France).
With an invitation from the city of Nuits-Saint-Georges and Partners, the Festival’s Main Jury will award the 2009 OENOVIDEO prizes to films and videos in French and English.
During OENOVIDEO 2009 an exhibit of photographs featuring Old Stones and Architectural Heritage in the Vineyard will also be held.
Oenovideo 2009 will be an excellent year to remember!
The selection of nominated films has just been completed. Of the 92 registered films, 31 films were selected in the competition. They will be projected and subjected to the final evaluation of the Grand jury and Partners jury during the 3-day festival. This year, in the list of nominated films, 12 countries are featured and big names in the Cinema and Television industry will be present, such as Martin Scorsese, the BBC, CAPPA agency, TV France 2, and TV France 3. For the first time in France, three productions from the United States of America, Georgia and Switzerland will be presented during the Festival.
The President of the Main Jury is Marc Rivière, Producer, and the Guest of Honor of Oenovideo 2009 is Gerard Carreyrou.
The competition will be filled with new discoveries: “Wine and grape imagery continues to progress in quality. There are many more different subjects and a larger variety of formats: documentary, fiction, publicity, short, mid and long film. The panorama is widening and becoming more international with the increasing presence of the Television and Cinema industry,” declares the pre-selection committee.
Wine professionals, as well as the public, will be able to satisfy their curiosity and plunge into this incredible array of grape and wine films with more than 10 hours of imagery coming from around the world.
It is a unique opportunity to discover the creativity involved in the quest to enhance the imagery of grape and wine. Short or long, these documentaries and fiction films bring a rich source of inspiration, such as discovering unknown facets and strange facts, updating current initiatives, revealing the variety of the trade, as well as geographical diversity, and featuring the cultural and historical richness of grape and wine.
Palais du Luxembourg, Paris, France.
Award Ceremony
Awards will be officially presented on September 9, 2009 at the French Senate building, Palais du Luxembourg in Paris.

Terroirs d'Images 4th Photo Exhibit 2009
Old Stones and Architectural Heritage in the Vineyard
The strongest concentration of photos to come from all over the world centred around grape and wine.
In Terroirs d'Images 2009, more than 1,500 photographs have been presented…
The work of the pre-selection committee of the 4th International Photo Exhibit on Grape and Wine is far from being simple: to select 100 photographs among the 1,500 works proposed by more than 140 photographers. The 100 best photographs will be presented during the Terroirs d'images Exhibit 2009 “Old Stones and Architectural Heritage in the Vineyard.”
During this exhibit, these realms of the past built amidst the world of vines (shelters, walls, reservoirs, windmills, chapels, crosses, altars, basins, fountains, towers...) will be gathered and brought back to life.
A great occasion to discover and re-discover this architectural heritage in order to cherish it and, hopefully, to better protect it.
Selected photos of 2009 will be exhibited in Nuits-Saint-Georges, Burgundy, France.
Visit the Photo Exhibit
May 8-10, 2009 from 11 am to 6 pm. Maison de Nuits-Saint-Georges 3 rue de la Berchère Nuits-Saint-Georges (France).
| Terroirs d'images 2008 Animals and Flowers in the Vineyard
In 2008, more than 650 photos by 50 photographers, from both France and around the world, were entered in the competition. 132 photos were selected and exhibited during Oenovideo 2008.

Entirely devoted to photos of grapes and wine, this unique exhibit will be held during Oenovideo, the world’s oldest documentary film festival solely dedicated to grape growing and winemaking. Each year, the exhibit gathers the best work from amateur and professional photographers based on a common theme. Since its creation, it has received support from loyal Partners, such as Bayer CropScience and Estates & Wines, who give out the "Discover the Flavours of the World" Award, which includes a trip to New Zealand for the best amateur photographer.
