Inspired by The Fabric of Reality, the 1997 bestseller by physicist David Deutsch, this unusual and moving film is no less than a summary of human knowledge about life and evolution. Directed by Polish video artist Norman Leto and illustrated with dazzling animation, Photon visualises what we know – and don’t know – about the history and future of the universe, tackling the biggest questions in a way that’s accessible and visually stunning. Zooming from macro to micro, the film covers topics from the origin of matter, and the formation of stars and planets, to the complex system that is a human being – and beyond, to the post-human future.
