Cinarchea took place last week - the international archaeological film festival hosted by the University of Kiel, Germany. The Großer Preis was awarded to Herculaneum, diaries of dark and light, a documentary based around Amedeo Maiuri's career excavating Herculaneum which was supported by the Herculaneum Centre. Congratulations to film maker Marcellino de Baggis!A clip is available to watch here.
The Diaries of Darkness and Light is a fantastic film. My students here in Australia use it in their studies of Herculaneum and Pompeii. Even in Italian with subtitles it never fails to captivate them.
