Congratulations to Snow on his film "Holy Wine" that will participate in the International Film Festival in Sonoma, California

03/21/2021 | Photographic Communication (B.A)

The film "Holy Wine" - a full-length independent documentary by Ron (Snow) Shay, a lecturer in the Department of Photographic Communication at HAC, will premiere at the Sonoma International Film Festival in California.
Snow's film deals with the story of Israeli wine.

Throughout the documentary, winemakers tell the story of Israeli wine and the challenges they face, only to discover that there is an inner strength between them and a power that thwarts the success of Israel's finest wines around the world. When the new world merges with an ancient tradition, nothing is sacred.

Holy Wine is a full-length documentary film that presents Israeli wine through a revealing introspection of the winemakers who make it and the often frustrating culture that surrounds it. The story of Israeli wine is rich in ancient history and tradition and begins in the Eastern Mediterranean. Solomon became captive to its deep roots and cultural heritage.

When winemakers struggle to create a new wine culture, they reveal an inner strength through their sons, which complicates their work with inconceivable antitrust and at the same time, thwarts the success of their finest wines around the world.
