Sofia E. Rovati, Finding Thule (2021)

“Following years of careful study, mathematician Giancarlo sets out to find the treasure hidden in Dante’s Divine Comedy. Inspired by his passion, a group of scientists, truth-seekers and filmmaker Sofia E. Rovati, travel to the heart of Iceland to join him on the most anticipated expedition yet: Finding Thule.”

“Finding Thule is a feature-length documentary that tells the story of Italian engineer-turned-explorer Giancarlo Gianazza, who during the course of several years sets out to a remote region of central Iceland on a quest to find the Holy Grail.”

“In 2014, young filmmaker Sofia E. Rovati joins Gianazza and his team with the intention of documenting the archaeological endeavour. Throughout the years the project becomes a larger-than-life adventure into which the filmmaker is inevitably drawn. Stepping in front of the camera, Sofia starts noticing and tracing parallels between her personal journey and the autobiographical journey of Dante. The lines between reality and fiction start to blur as the characters of the Divine Comedy come alive and this real-life treasure hunt in Iceland’s ethereal landscape turns into a discovery of what lies within.”   —https://findingthule.co.uk/about
