What does the event mean for holidaymakers and residents?
For holidaymakers and European residents in the tourist areas of southern Tenerife, the film screening changes nothing. The Cabildo de Tenerife announcement gives no new prices, access rules, permits, deadlines or closures for climbing Mount Teide.
The event has been announced as private. The available source contains no specific details about invitations, accreditation or public registration. The screening is closed to the public, with a limited number of participants and by invitation only.
What is the documentary about?
The film Donde duele el aire follows Noah Higón, a young woman who lives with seven rare diseases. She set herself the goal of climbing Mount Teide to unfurl a banner with the message "Without science there is no future".
The production was produced by Cyrano Producciones in collaboration with the Cabildo de Tenerife. Noah Higón is accompanied by science communicator Javier Santaolalla, mountaineer Juan Diego Amador and her own father.
According to the announcement, the film shows a demanding high-mountain expedition. Noah Higón has to contend with the cold, the altitude, exhaustion and the limitations caused by her health condition.
Who is taking part in the screening?
The event will be attended by the president of the Cabildo de Tenerife, Rosa Dávila, Noah Higón, presenter Eloísa González and the managing director of the public broadcaster Radio Televisión Canaria, César Toledo.
After the speeches, the documentary will be shown in full. Also invited are media representatives, representatives of Volcano Teide, researchers from hospitals in the Canary Islands, associations working in the field of rare diseases and mountaineering groups.
According to the Cabildo, the aim of the event is to create a space for reflection on the reality of life for those living with rare diseases and on the need to continue advancing scientific research.
