Matinee: 'A Harvest of Memories'
8 November 2025
Saturday matinees long ago let us escape from the ordinary world to the island of the Swiss Family Robinson or the mutinous decks of the Bounty. Why not, we thought, escape the usual fare here with Saturday matinees of our favorite photography films?
So we're pleased to present the 629th in our series of Saturday matinees today: A Harvest of Memories.
In tis 2:44 clip from Leica Camera Italian photographer and art director Davide De Martis tells us he grew up in a family that ran a restaurant where learned from his sommelier father that every glass of wine was more than its bouquet or how it tastes. It is a living memory.
Which may remind you of, well, a photograph.
If you were here, we'd uncork a bottle to show you what he means. And we would both remember that day when we spent an afternoon together over a glass of wine.
Just as a photograph reminds us of what happened in our lives some time ago.
In the video, we see him flip through the photographs of his childhood before he is called to the vineyard to photograph what is happening now.
"Although I may not be in the picture," he concludes, "I still remain in the way it was lived." He drank, in short, from the same bottle, a sip of life the day that image was made.
Salut!
