The Sun: Inferno In The Sky
1 x 60’, 2018, 4K
In 2012, a massive eruption on the sun hurls a colossal cloud of solar matter into space. Fortunately, the Earth is not in the direct path of this solar ejection. But it’s only a matter of time before a violent solar storm hits us. When these clouds of charged matter reach our planet, they can wreak havoc in electrical systems. Previous sunstorms have resulted in large-scale power outages and the total loss of satellites. An important indicator for solar activity is sunspots – darker areas that are a little cooler than the rest of the sun’s surface. Scientists in Austria monitor sunspots and send their observations to the World Data Centre of the Sunspot Index, where others are trying to predict the sun’s behaviour so they can forecast space weather. ‘The Sun: Inferno in the Sky’, presents the latest developments in solar science.

In this series, photographer Kadir van Lohuizen investigates the consequences of rising sea levels. As we travel the world, we find the effect of this rise already being felt. Water touches on some of the biggest issues facing our planet today: climate change, energy supply, poverty, population, agriculture, urbanisation and migration. The result is a series that paints a confrontational image of the near future in a stirring way.

‘The Most Unknown’ is an epic documentary film that sends nine scientists to extraordinary parts of the world to uncover unexpected answers to some of humanity’s biggest questions. How did life begin? What is time? What is consciousness? How much do we really know? By introducing researchers from diverse backgrounds for the first time, then dropping them into new, immersive field work they previously had not tackled, the film pushes the boundaries of how science storytelling is approached.

‘V-Day: Volcanic Planet’ asks: what would happen if all of the world’s volcanoes erupted on a single day? Join scientists around the globe as they deploy the latest technology to understand and predict volcanic behaviour. Spectacular footage of past and current eruptions, puts us right in the heart of volcanoes. Then, by speeding up the action into a single day, we get a breathtaking new perspective on the remarkable forces that have shaped our planet for millions of years.
