Laki Haze (2020) Following the eruption of the Lakakigar volcano, Iceland in 1783, a sulphurous haze shrouded vaste swathes of the northern hemisphere, causing widespread crop failures, consequent famine and disease across Europe, parts of America, North Africa, and India. It is estimated to have killed millions of people. Using first-hand accounts from Iceland and from across Europe.  The film continues Raban’s recent research into the use of the single long take and revisits his preoccupations with landscape film from the early 1970s.
