PODCAST | Chiara Nicoletti interviews Clive Oppenheimer, volcanologist and collaborator on Werner Herzog’s Into the Inferno, from the 11th Rome Film Fest.
FRED’s Chiara Nicoletti meets Clive Oppenheimer, volcanologist and friend of Werner Herzog, director of Into the Inferno, screening at the 11th Edition of Rome Film Festival in its official selection. This is the second time Oppenheimer works with Herzog and this time they took a trip almost inside the most famous and active volcanos in the world to analyze how these instruments of nature interacted with the population living around them. Everything is unpredictable with Werner Herzog so this is, obviously, more than a documentary.
INTO THE INFERNO. Werner Herzog and volcanologist Clive Oppenheimer embark upon a global journey exploring some of the world’s most mythical volcanoes in North Korea, Ethiopia, Iceland and the Vanuatu Archipelago. Speaking with scientists and indigenous peoples alike, they seek to understand the complex and deeply rooted relationship between mankind and one of nature’s greatest wonders. Produced by Spring Films, Werner Herzog Film and Matter of Fact Media, Into the Inferno artfully blends reportage, history and philosophy into a riveting cinematic experience.
The documentary debuts October 28th 2016 at 12.01 am PT in all territories where Netflix is available.
