Oscar-nominated filmmaker Gianfranco Rosi (Fire at Sea) films in gorgeous black-and-white cinematography to immerse us in the community near Mount Vesuvius where the past and present intermingle.Embedding himself in the communities in and around Vesuvius, Rosi documents the humour, hopes and fears of ordinary people, including archaeologists still uncovering treasures, as well as the Carabinieri who investigate tomb raiders. The region of 3 million people remains infused with the lore of the volcano’s eruption in 79 AD that decimated the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Combining haunting black and white images of modern life with astonishing archive footage, Pompei: Below the Clouds is a sublimely original work.
Visions of Europe returns for its 5th edition, celebrating the breadth of European cinema with a handpicked selection of new releases, previews, festival hits and classics returning to the big screen.
