Nine Months of Winter and Three of Hell - Episode 3

"Joking, joking, one goes on preaching"

A film by João Pedro Marnoto
A MediaUtopia production

“With the title taken from a popular expression from the Douro and Trás-os-Montes in Portugal Northeast region... a journey amongst the people rooted in the land that sustains its hunger, and devoted in the faith that points them towards the skies… a reflection on the human condition based on three vertices: the relationship with the Land, Faith and Progress.”

“Nine Months of Winter and Three of Hell” is a documentary work that unfolds throughout the 4 seasons, starting in the autumn in the middle of the pruning season and ending at the end of summer at the time of the harvest, thus portraying the social and cultural experience of a particular region, but in a parallel that goes beyond borders. Firstly with photography and extending into vídeo, the final result tries to be a visual metaphor on contemporaneity taken from a premise and perspective of the rural space.

In this sense, the work will be presented over the next 12 months on a monthly basis, in videos between 4 to 10 minutes, making each chapter coincide with the time of year to which it corresponds.
