Maurice Krafft

카티아와 모리스 크라프트는 서로와 화산을 사랑했고, 분출하는 화산을 찾아 지구를 누비며 연구 내용을 기록했다. 1991년, 두 화산학자는 자연계에 관한 우리의 이해를 높이는 방대한 자료를 뒤로하고 사망했다. 본 다큐멘터리 영화는 그들이 남긴 기록을 바탕으로 사랑이라는 이유 때문에 미지의 세계를 모험한 두 과학자의 여정을 따라가며 생성과 소멸에 관해 이야기한다.

1991년 6월 3일, 일본의 운젠 화산이 폭발하고 43명의 목숨을 앗아간다. 희생자들 중에는 프랑스의 화산학자 부부인 카티아와 모리스 크래프트도 포함되어 있었다. "인페르노 속으로"(2016)를 만들며 베르너 헤어조크 감독은 이들의 이야기에 매혹된다. 화산의 놀라운 풍경을 극히 가까운 거리에서 담은 사진과 영상으로 유명했던 그들이 남긴 200시간 분량의 푸티지를 바탕으로 그들에게 바치는 진혼곡을 만든다.

마그마와 용암으로 불의 심장을 토해내는 대자연. 베르너 헤어조크 감독이 담아낸 이 영상의 대서사시는 화산의 가공할 위력과 토착민들의 전통 의식의 관계를 들여다본다.

Documentaries by Katia and Maurice Krafft feature some of the amazing footage shot by the renowned volcanologists, who perished in 1991 while filming a volcano in Japan. The duo documented more active and erupting volcanos than any other scientists in the world, and their dedication shows in Deadly Peaks and Killer Volcanos, two educational films that capture the scientists on the edge of a hot ash blast and floating on a lake of sulfuric acid. The films visit Mount Kilimanjaro and examine some of the less-known dangers such as carbon monoxide gas that builds under crater-formed lakes. They also take an in-depth look at the eruption of Mount St. Helens and the lengths to which people will go to save their communities. Venturing to places where most people would never dare, the Kraffts gave their lives to promote the study of volcanos and left behind a legacy of courage in the name of science. --Shannon Gee

Travel around the world for a firsthand look at volcanoes - perhaps the most dazzling but destructive natural force on earth. Massive volcanic eruption can turn day into night, releasing the power of an atomic blast, spewing toxic avalanches of lava, gas, and ash. National Geographic Video transports you to some of the world's most notorious volcanoes, including Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines and Japan's Mount Unzen. Join volcanologists in their dangerous quest to forecast eruptions and save lives, putting you in the middle of the explosive excitement and human drama of Volcano: Nature's Inferno.

The film is about the life of the Krafft couple, from Maurice's first clim on stromboli at the age of seven to their tragic death in 1991 on Mount Unzen in Japan. The couple were scholars, film-makers, researchers and photographers who made volcanology the main purpose of their life. Together they filmed over 800 hours on 128 erupting volcanoes and they made over 450,000 negatives of great aesthetic and scientific value.
