Documentaries can be as captivating as narrative features, and two nonfiction films opening in Bay Area theaters Friday demonstrate that. “Fire of Love” is a gloriously cinematic tale of love and lava. “Living Wine” takes us into the natural winemaking world while doubling as a climate change thriller. Both films feature people who love what they do. Expect to be inspired.
“It was a challenge to put it together, but a very joyful process,” says Dosa, who became aware of the work of the Kraffts while researching Icelandic volcanoes for her documentary “The Seer and the Unseen.” The Kraffts fascinated Dosa, and she discovered that a gold mine of archival materials reflecting their lives and work existed.
Dosa gives special mention to performer-writer-filmmaker Miranda July, whose narration Dosa describes as capturing the joyful yet complicated spirit of the Kraffts. Dosa, editors Erin Casper and Jocelyne Chaput, and producer Shane Boris wrote the words July speaks. Miller was inspired to make “Living Wine” after learning that conventionally made wines contain chemical additives and involve environmentally harmful agricultural practices. “The same people who always buy organic foods will buy corporately made wines, not realizing that these wines are full of chemicals,” she says.
