TEIDE IL GIGANTE NERO
Vincenzo Mariani
Italy / 1958 / 16'
A documentary with a scientific flavor, filmed on the island of Tenerife, in the Canaries. The eruptive rocks around the extinct craters of the volcano are "read" by the scientist: the lava flows, solidified in remote epochs, can be dated in reliable progression, and silently narrate the history of the island.
