This film was programmed in collaboration with Pictura Gallery’s current exhibit “I saw a tree bearing stones in the place of apples and pears” by Emilia Martin
Synopsis: Werner Herzog’s 32nd feature-length documentary and his second with volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer as co-director. Fireball is a remarkable journey across our planet and universe exploring how meteorites, shooting stars, and deep impacts have awoken our wonder about other realms.
Over billions of years, extraterrestrial bombardments have reshaped the very nature of our planet, causing species to perish or flourish — and perhaps even seeding the initial building blocks for life on Earth. Today we can still hear the echo of these meteor impacts, ringing through culture, mythology, and scientific research. Fireball takes viewers into the mystery at the heart of these fallen stones, exploring their origins and their impacts on civilization.
