About The Event
Q&A moderated by Tom Needham, Host of The Sounds of Film at WUSB radio. Directed by Sara Dosa FIRE OF LOVE tells the story of two French lovers, Katia and Maurice Krafft, who died in a volcanic explosion doing the very thing that brought them together: unraveling the mysteries of our planet, while simultaneously capturing the most explosive volcano imagery ever recorded. Along the way, they changed our understanding of the natural world, and saved tens of thousands of lives. Previously unseen hours of pristine 16-millimeter film and thousands of photographs reveal the birth of modern volcanology through an unlikely lens — the love of its two pioneers. The film premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival as the opening night film for the US Documentary Competition, where it won the jury’s Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award. And we are honored to be presenting it as our closing night film! Running Time: 93 minutes
