Réuninon Island in the Indian Ocean, near Madagascar, has volcanic mountains with peaks rising above the dense tropical vegetation. Among these is Piton de la Fournaise which, after five years' silince, erupted on 5 March 1998. Rémi Tézier, a film director well known to the Trento Festival, filmed the eruptions which continued for several months. The result is a series of spectacular scenes of the event; the most interesting and beautiful pictures recorded in the last thirty years. The video camera follows a young volcanologist, Nicolas Villeneuve, inside the active crateres of this volcano considered to be the most active one on earth.
