VOLCANO VOICES: FROM ASHES TO ARCHIVES AND ART 

The film, narrated by Werner Herzog, reveals how collaboration across the sciences, arts and humanities is shedding new light on our past.

Passionate volcano enthusiast and filmmaker Clive Oppenheimer from the University of Cambridge, explores how volcanic activity reaches far beyond the boundaries of classical geology. With curiosity, wit and stunning imagery, the film brings together researchers, artists and diverse perspectives into a compelling portrait of how volcanoes have shaped, and continue to shape, our planet and society. Tracing volcanic influences across scientific, cultural, social and archaeological contexts, the film asks what stories the fiery depths of the Earth still have left to tell us.

Hosted as part of the accompanying program in Anna Guðjónsdóttir’s exhibition DREAMS OF EMBERS DAYS OF ASHES, this special screening welcomes volcano enthusiasts, art and science lovers and documentary film audiences alike for an evening of film and discussion. The film has been featured at international science film festivals, including the AFO Science Film Festival and FICMEC's Vulcanalia programme.
