Documentary Teno: Man and Nature
Earlier we reported that the documentary film, Teno: Hombre y Naturaleza (Teno: Man and Nature), the the result of two years of intensive work by production company, Alascine, was soon be shown at various points around the Teno Rural Park.
One of those showings (and I plan to be there) will be at the Cultural Center, in the plaza in Las Portelas in the El Palmar valley, next Wednesday, May 17th, at 19:00 hours.
The scenery around here is utterly amazing and it will be well worth seeing the documentary for its purely aesthetic aspects alone. You wouldn't even need to speak Spanish to enjoy it, so if you are in Tenerife and fancy a night at the "cinema" (bring your own popcorn :) and a virtually unique experience, why not come along?
Ring me on 922 127840 or 615 922465 for directions and a meetup point.
On a deeper note, the documentary film, of this national cultural treasure, aims to pay homage to all the efforts and sacrifices of successive generations of men and women who have lived and worked, morning to night, in such difficult and remote conditions. The film is also a reminder that it is well worth fighting to defend this inheritance and of the need to leave it to the next generation in the same state we received it.
