Into Eternity
Jul 22 - Jul 28, 2011
(Michael Madsen, USA, 2009, DigiBeta, 75 min)
Seattle Premiere!
After the devastating nuclear crisis in Japan, Michael Madsen’s Into Eternity—part documentary, part science fiction—is a prescient exploration of how Finland handles its spent nuclear fuel rods. The film begs the question: Since nuclear waste is dangerous for hundreds of thousands of years, how do you communicate the danger to distant generations?
Screens with Karn Junkinsmith’s Interpretive Site: Hanford Reach.
"Jaw-dropping! Tackles a subject almost beyond comprehension. One of the most extraordinary factual films to be shown this year.” —The Guardian
