The 12 tons of bitter oranges harvested from Monaco’s streets in early February have been washed, peeled and juiced, but, much like in the principality itself, space is still at a premium inside La Distillerie de Monaco. A dozen or so waist-high stainless steel fermenting tanks crowd around the four-metre high copper still, the first vintage of Philip Culazzo’s small-batch eau de vie which has been ageing for 30 months.

Lions, Bones & Bullets to Screen at Monte-Carlo TV Festival
Lions, Bones & Bullets, narrated by Peter Egan (
Harry Potter,
Chariots of Fire).
The character-driven doc feature, produced by Jagged Peak Films, reveals the underbelly of what the world thought was “lion trophy hunting” but in reality, is the mass production, commercialization and domestication of Africa’s wildlife for traditional Chinese medicine. Told through an adventure story, author Richard Peirce travels from lion farms in South Africa to dealers in Southeast Asia to uncover the elaborate wildlife con. The film also explores realistic alternatives.
Lions, Bones & Bullets will screen on June 21 at 7 p.m. in the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco.
