Into Eternity
Director: Michael Madsen
Starring: Michael Madsen, Timo Aikas, Peter Wikberg
Finland, 2010, 1 hour 18 minutes subtitles
Probably the most thought-provoking film in the festival, this stunning documentary examines the dilemmas thrown up by the construction of ONKALO the world’s first ‘permanent’ nuclear waste store. Like a poisoned Pyramid this colossal underground tomb is designed to last for 100,000 years – 10 times longer than human civilization so far. Given that we’ve never before created something that lasts anything like this length of time, the challenges are not so much the actual construction as how to guarantee something we can barely conceive. A suitably deadpan guide to one of our ultimate challenges Madsen does not simply ask tough questions about our use of nuclear energy, but how we, as a race, conceive our future.
