Storytelling as matter.
The Curator is a short film by WENGLER, exploring what remains after the wine is poured, the quiet exchange between place and person, maker and recipient.
Nominated for the Luxembourg Design Awards 2025, The Curator stands as a quiet reflection on creation, sincerity, and the art of attention.
Filmed in the Rhône Valley and Luxembourg, The Curator traces two landscapes that speak the same language of time, soil, and instinct. It’s not an advertisement, but a gesture, a translation of feeling shaped by light and silence.
Charline’s voice guides the narrative, while each frame captures the dialogue between nature and craft. The film begins in the wild: wind, air, soil, the raw elements that shape character over years. Nature moves at its own pace, layering nuance instead of chasing perfection.
Every shot is deliberate. Every cut preserves what matters. Curation here isn’t about prestige or spectacle, but about clarity, choosing what endures over what shouts.
At its heart, The Curator celebrates wine as culture: a meeting point, a keeper of memory, a reason to sit and share. True to its subjects, it resists expectation and embraces authenticity.
It doesn’t seek to impress. It makes room, to feel, to see, to remember.
Watch The Curator. Experience the story behind what lingers.
