Screening of the film "Gli spiriti dell'isola"
The event is in Italian and will take place at La Val dl'Ert, near the work "Ciasa" by Conor McNelly. In case of bad weather, you will find all the information on our social media platforms, such as Instagram and Facebook, or on our website. To reach the screening area, you can either enter from the official entrance to the valley near the Museum Ladin, or from the San Martin sports field, following the Mirì road until you reach the gravel road leading to part 4 of the park (in both cases, it’s a 30-40 minute walk). It is recommended to bring a flashlight (or have your cell phone charged to use its light) because the return will be in the dark. Another option is to drive up to this location (46°41'07.2"N 11°53'09.9"E Strada Mirì, 39030 San Martino in Badia BZ) and park, making sure to leave the way clear for other cars. From there, it will only take 10 minutes to walk to the screening area. You can download the map here: https://tinyurl.com/25yajo8r, where McNelly’s work is the artwork indicated with number 12.
