In 1925 Venanzio Sella visited China in a sensitive period
of political transition. His film is a major testimony of historical, documentary and
anthropological interest. From the images of Sun Yat-sen’s pompous funerals to the
hectic and fascinating everyday life in a Bejing long gone.
National première of an excerpt of the film VAJONT by Renzo Martinelli and of the documentary on
the making of the film’s special effects.
9th October 1963, h. 22.39: 260 million
cubic metres of rock fell from Mt. Toc, beyond the Vajont dam, in the artificial lake
below. A 250 metre-high wave rose above the dam, 50 million cubic metres of water lifted
up toward the sky like a giant liquid mushroom which fell heavily on to the valley,
sweeping away the villages underneath it. More than 2000 people died.
VAJONT tells the story of Man who has not been able to understand
Nature. VAJONT is also a great story of civil commitment, backed up by a
spectacular and extremely captivating structure.
