Eternal Sky
(108 minutes;2022; English)
Directed by Debra Kellner

HOW DID TIME BEGIN?
Did the big bang happen, or did something else occur?
Humanity has searched for the answer to this question since time immemorial.
‍Six years in the making, the movie Eternal Sky was filmed over three continents. It follows science's most ambitious quest: how did time begin? Set in the remote Andes in the Chilean Atacama Desert, the documentary reveals an intimate story behind one of science's most competitive races by merging ancient wisdom and modern science. Eternal Sky follows in the footsteps of some of the world's leading astrophysicists as they seek to unravel the origins of time, space, and matter. The film follows the lives of several Atacameno elders who take the viewer on a soulful vision of the cosmos. The coexistence between scientists and the local Atacameno culture is a confrontation between the mystical and the existential.
