Photon (NR)

synopsis

Nothing less than an attempt to summarize all existence from the origins of matter to the entropic dissolution of the universe (along with all of human civilization, past, present, and future), Photon is a uniquely ambitious creation. It's also an extraordinary challenge to preconceptions of the science documentary, merging rigorously researched data visualizations with distinctly subjective and irrevent writing that forces the viewer to question the assumed monolithic authority of the sci-film narrator. Is any film expressing fallible human ideas really more of a documentary than the wildest sci-fi speculation? Watch, and decide for yourself.
