- While world religious leaders gather for a top secret meeting in La Spezia, the Reverend Jones, a famous television preacher and the creator of 'Reverend Jones's Sauce', is set on replacing them all and imposing his credo on the unsuspecting world. To that end he hires the services of a sophisticated and infallible killer named Omega whose only defect lies in the perfection with which he carries out his mission. His success rate bores him rigid and in order to drum up some well-needed enthusiasm, Omega creates a whole set of difficulties for himself while on the job. Given the unique nature of the task that the Reverend Jones has assigned him, Omega decides to tell someone what he is about to do. But instead of telling someone in authority, Omega chooses a name at random from the phone book: Carlo Maggi, a normal twenty-eight year old about to be married and live a normal, albeit boring life. Carlo tries to warn the police, who ignore him and then he goes to the papers. The only person to believe his tall tale is Anna Letizia Kohler, a young and ambitious journalist. They decide to try and stop Omega and set out together for La Spezia in a Fiat 500 that has seen better days. A journey that would normally take a couple of hours takes them an entire day. Will they be in time?
- The modern world tied together by globalization unites and at the same time divides souls through bureaucratic barriers like visas and passports. What seems easy can suddenly become difficult, and even the deepest and most spontaneous love has to face the reality of immigration policy and borders. In "For the Love I Show", two young lovers learn to deal with the agony of their ending relationship as they say goodbye on a road trip of self discovery and mutual growth.
- This documentary film is a heartfelt glimpse at the passion of a people that have cultivated the steep mountainous land of a small region of the Italian, Ligurian coastline called Le Cinque Terre, to produce a little known, specialty dessert wine called Sciacchetra' (Shock - eh - tra). Sadly enough, the production of Sciacchetra' in the old way of the farmers, growing, harvesting, vinifying and bottling their own Sciacchetra', is a rapidly vanishing age old tradition. With under twenty private generational Sciacchetra' producers left, most are being maintained by an aging generation whose heirs are unwilling and uninterested in receiving the torch that has been passed down by nearly 25 generations. As one local resident, Giuliano Basso, (the unofficial mayor of Vernazza), who has cultivated Sciacchetra' as well as his father and grandfather, commented, "The younger generation just want to rent out rooms and work in the bars because cultivating grapes is too much work." The slogan of the film is, "Passion, Culture, Legacy and Life" because it is the Passion that builds our Culture, which leaves the Legacy of our Life. Watch as the film shows the path to the revitalization of Sciacchetra production.
- In today's modern world, when almost everything is done with the touch of a button, the citizens of the Cinque Terre of Italy still make Sciacchetra wine by hand, as their ancestors have done for over 1000 years. They also welcome over three million tourists annually into their homes, restaurants, and shops, something their ancestors could have never foreseen. A modern-day fight for sustainable tourism, cultural preservation, and environmental balance teeters on the edge of survival as the villages face an uncertainty marked by political change, natural disaster, and conflicting goals. Vendemmia documents the present day challenges of the Cinque Terre through both the eyes of its extraordinary residents and also those standing on the outside, anxiously observing the area's rapid fire transformation, and asks the essential question - Is it possible to preserve the future without sacrificing the past?
