Silhouetted Christ Statue With Outstretched Arms on a... — Clip Details

Loma Isabel de Torres, Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic, circa 1977 home movie footage shows the Cristo Redentor figure in silhouette, arms outstretched, on a square pedestal atop a dark domed base. Blue sky and bright drifting cloud fill the frame behind it, and small lamp posts stand along the rim of the dome. The single handheld shot looks up from below and holds the whole figure with only slight drift. Heavy grain and a violet cast in the sky show the Super 8 colour stock.

Topics & Keywords

Archive Intelligence

Archive brief fit: Answers requests for 1970s Dominican Republic or Caribbean tourism imagery, giving a period establishing view of the Isabel de Torres Christ statue for documentary, travel or education use.
Period detail: The film itself carries the era clues, with the heavy grain and violet-shifted sky of 1970s Super 8 colour stock, while the statue and dome may show the summit as it looked soon after the cable car opened.
Home-movie behavior: A visitor stands below the monument and tilts the camera up to frame the whole figure against the sky, the typical souvenir shot a tourist takes on reaching the summit.
What appears in frame: The frame holds the dark Christ figure with arms outstretched, its square pedestal, the broad brown dome beneath, a few thin lamp posts on the dome's rim, and blue sky with banks of white cloud.
Film character: Coarse Super 8 grain, soft focus and a violet cast in the blue sky give the shot a warm, textured period look, and the gentle handheld drift marks it as an amateur camera.
Edit role: Works as an establishing shot for the Isabel de Torres summit, a cutaway in a Puerto Plata sequence, or a transition between the cable-car ride and summit garden scenes.
Historical context: The statue was installed on the mountain in 1970 to attract visitors, and the cable car opened in July 1975, so the shot shows the summit during its early years as a tourist attraction.
Research note: No people appear; the statue is a sculptural work, so any copyright in the sculpture and any site or property permissions for commercial use are separate questions from the film footage rights.
Research search match: Christ the Redeemer Puerto Plata 1970s, Isabel de Torres Super 8 footage, Dominican Republic vintage home movie, Caribbean religious statue silhouette.
Archive pairing path: Pair first with this reel's red cable car over forest, summit garden stairway, garden pool fountain and colonial stone fort clips, then other Puerto Plata footage from the 1970s, then other Christ statue or mountain monument shots.
