17° TORINO FILM FESTIVAL
Tribute To Paolo Gobetti

AL TEMPO DELLE SCALE

AT THE TIME OF THE LADDERS

Country: Italy
Year: 1987
Duration: 25'


This film - shot in 1973, but edited in the 1980s - once more calls to mind a critical moment in speleological exploration. Then the last descents and subsequent ascents were being done on ladders at a time when new techniques were already being tested out - techniques with descending devices and jumar that were to revolutionize the way caving is done.

"Video and caves in an inusual mix of explorative and technological archeology" (Paola Olivetti).
