What is it about?

This essay philosophically speculates on the connection between cinema and the volcano through an exploration of Werner Herzog’s documentary Into the Inferno (2016) and Malena Szlam’s geological films ALTIPLANO (2018) and MERAPI (2021). I argue that doing so may help to reimagine human-nonhuman interrelations.
