Description:
Luca Comerio first used the title *Dal polo all'equatore* for a 1925 documentary compilation. Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi later revived the title with their 1985 film. The original footage has been significantly altered, re-shot, slowed, tinted, and re-edited with a minimalist soundtrack. This transforms the exoticism of colonial travel and sport into something unsettling. Patterns of violence, particularly hunting scenes, visually suggest war as an inevitable outcome. A detailed look at the film, beginning with a railway journey, examines how memory and history are central to this remarkable and influential work.
