…These Blazeing Starrs!

...These Blazeing Starrs!

Deborah Stratman | USA | 2011 | 14' | | IFFR 2011

…These Blazeing Starrs juxtaposes an empirical desire to probe and measure with older methods, when stargazers interpreted the sky more intuitively. Comets, once regarded as messengers bearing tidings of human folly, are now seen as time capsules harbouring elemental information about our solar system.
