Evil Engineering - The legacy of the Vajont Dam disaster

Описание: “The most emblematic and tragic outcome, in recent times, of a chain of flawed human and scientific assessments.” - UNESCO

This commemorative video tells the story of one of the saddest chapters in Italian history. A tragedy that, 62 years later, remains vivid in the collective consciousness and serves as a warning about the consequences of negligence, superficiality, and the underestimation of risk. On October 9, 1963, a documented landslide of approximately 260 million cubic meters of rock detached from Mount Toc and plunged into the reservoir of the Vajont Dam, then the tallest arch dam in the world. The displacement generated a wave of 30–50 million cubic meters of water, overtopping the dam and sweeping through the valley with devastating force. The outcome was catastrophic: nearly 2,000 lives lost in less than two minutes, entire villages wiped out, and decades of legal disputes. We will revisit these places to pay silent tribute to the victims, through a subjective point of view, accompanied by music and informative texts on screen.
