Film

On an icy lake in Finland, a 500-year-old fishing practice continues, unbroken.

The Winter Seiners of Puruvesi portrays one day on the ice with two teams of Finnish fishermen, practicing an unique form of under-ice net fishing. Includes rarely seen footage from the 1930s and 1960s.

This first installment from the “10-Minutes With” series features Minott Kerr, a lover of "consumable liquids" in all forms. While making the perfect Manhattan, and brewing an excellent coffee, Minott pontificates on - and demonstrates - his insatiable appetite for both tasting and for learning.
