Folco Quilici, the Italian explorer, documentary and film maker, photographer and travel writer, first started exploring distant areas of the world in the late 1940s and is still a passionate traveler today. In a world where everything keeps changing fast, the mode and meaning of travel have undergone profound transformations. Over just a few decades, traveling has become so much faster that it no longer takes Quilici 28 days to reach Polynesia, as was the case when he first sailed there in 1954. But customs, too, have changed both in the West and in distant countries, and traditions are waning at an increased pace. By showing pictures and footage from his amazing repertoire, Quilici will show how travel has changed and talk about his world travels in these crucial decades that have seen the disappearance of so much of our living heritage.
