Four exceptional astronomers celebrate 50 years of work and friendship on a return road trip in the southwestern United States, recapturing youthful adventures and recounting each other's influences on the most exciting period in astronomy’s history. Roger the instrument-maker, Donald the theoretician, Nick the visionary, and Wal the observer. Together they represent the most productive period astronomy has ever had. They helped build the world’s biggest observatories and made revolutionary discoveries about the evolving universe, discoveries that have the power to change the way humanity sees itself. Alison Rose’s film is a funny, insightful, humbling and intimate portrait of friendship, as the men reflect on how their profound work on the universe has reflected back on the individual, affecting their sense of religious faith, how life may have purpose, and what is knowable and unknowable.

Em uma escola medieval, um velho astrônomo começa a ensinar uma classe de jovens, todos armados com telescópios, sobre a arte de examinar um eclipse iminente. Quando um relógio mecânico bate meia-noite, todos os jovens correm para as janelas e fixam seus telescópios no céu.

TimeScape, é o primeiro do mundo em tecnologia 4k. A empreitada quem financiou foi o compositor e empresário neozelandês Nigel “John” Stanford, que forneceu a Tom Lowe uma câmera digital MX Red 4K. A multinacional japonesa Canon patrocinou a produção, fornecendo Lentes 5.6K 5D Mark II e DSLRs. O filme apresenta em câmera lenta e impressionante cinematografia timelapse paisagens, pessoas e a vida selvagem da América do Sul. Para rodá-lo, Lowe passou 2 anos vagando em sua caminhonete Toyota pelo continente. A produção, naturalmente, envolveu muitas dificuldades, como passar 250 noites ao ar livre, dormindo no chão, sem barracas, sob as estrelas e ao lado de sua câmera, enquanto o timelapse estava sendo capturado. A tecnologia 4k, utilizada no filme, permite a altíssima definição de 4096 x 2160 pixels.

Infinitude is a handmade representation of the exponential growth of complexity in the cosmos.

Although the mountain volcano Mauna Kea last erupted around 4,000 years ago, it is still hot today, the center of a burning controversy over whether its summit should be used for astronomical observatories or preserved as a cultural landscape sacred to the Hawaiian people. For five years the documentary production team Nā Maka o ka 'Āina ("the eyes of the land") captured on video the seasonal moods of Mauna Kea's unique 14,000-foot summit, the richly varied ecosystems that extend from sea level to alpine zone, the legends and stories that reveal the mountain's geologic and cultural history, and the political turbulence surrounding the efforts to protect the most significant temple in the islands: the mountain itself.
