Description
Location: Barrick Museum Auditorium

Prof. Giuseppe Natale, Department of Foreign Languages, UNLV

Originally filmed in the mid-sixties, Bertolucci's sole documentary The Oil Route (La Via del Petrolio) was broadcast on Italian television and never screened in theaters. The three-part narrative highlights the origins of oil production in Iran (Le Origini), then tracks the European route of the black gold via tanker to the port of Genoa (Il Viaggio) before crossing Europe (Attraverso l’Europa). Along the way the film-maker leaves objectivity behind for the sake of the creative imagination. Born in the early era of oil exploitation, the documentary is of great relevance to present-day debates on sharing energy resources and establishing dialogue between distant cultures. Co-sponsored by the Italian Cultural Institute of Los Angeles.
