FINALIST FILM: COMMUNITY

Theme: Future Earth

Directed by: Grazia Maria Fiore

Country of Origin: France and Greece

In the Greek island of Rhodes, the Ephorate of Antiquities is particularly concerned about the impacts of geo-hazards on cultural heritage, as the island is subject to soil movements and is situated in a seismic area. In the area of Rodini, some monuments are showing signs of collapse and need to be monitored. The Ephorate is relying on Copernicus satellite data to monitor soil deformation around the monuments and to plan measures to secure and restore them.
