From the Pole to the Equator

by Yervant Gianikian, Angela Ricci Lucchi

Italian film pioneer Luca Comerio (1876–1940) spent the early decades of the 20th century traveling the globe as a cinereporter, from the North Pole to the equator, becoming increasingly fascinated by colonialism and fascism. He captured images of mounted soldiers, missionary schools in Africa, hunters shooting polar bears, zebras, and lions, as well as Italian Alpine troops in the trenches of the First World War.
