Isola Bianca screens the World Premiere of 'La Cava Bianca'. This immersive and captivating documentary film explores the haunting beauty of Lipari’s abandoned pumice quarry where past and present collide.
Through voices of memory and loss, the film traces a story of labour, ecological scars, and the island’s search for a sustainable future.
Narrated by geo-poet Davide Sapienza, the film features Aeolian Historian Guiseppe La Greca, Natural Scientist Pietro Lo Cascio, Terrain Guide Flavia Grita and former miners.
Prelude "Aeolus" performed by Kelly Dowall, using ancient wind instruments; the Maori koauau pongaihu, the Turkish ney and the clarinet.
Introduction Prof. Marcello Saija, University of Messina.
