To mark the 150th anniversary of the first successful expedition to the summit of the Matterhorn, the Italian National Museum of Cinema serves up screenings of three extraordinary films from the 1910s, which document Matterhorn ascents, up the Giant’s Tooth and an expedition in Karakorum. The digitalized footage is courtesy of documentary pioneers Mario Piacenza and Vittorio Sella, and has been restored by the Museum. Live musical accompaniment by the British duo Plaid and the Italian percussion ensemble Blow Up Percussion.
