Krakatoa is a hybrid film – partially speculative fiction and partially documentary – that follows a sonic narrative and interweaves abstract scientific imaging. It begins from a sonic reconstruction of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and mixes it with an account from a survivor of its last eruption in 2018. The film explores the sensorial possibilities of film as medium and seeks to bring the audience closer to our surrounding ecologies through abstract audiovisual embodiment. The film follows the last day of Kesuma, a young Bagan fisherman who lives on a bamboo fishing platform near Krakatoa. Seeking food and water following an eruption, he descends into a hallucinatory journey through geological eras, lava rivers, and abstraction itself.
