Michael Madsen – Denmark, 2010 – 75 minutes – spoken language: English, with English subtitles
“Onkalo” is Finnish for “hiding place”. It is also the name of the world’s first attempt to build a permanent nuclear waste storage site out of solid bedrock north of Helsinki. Toxic radioactive wastes are to lay there undisturbed for 100.000 years. No person working on the facility today will live to see it completed somewhere in the 2100s.
In his documentary Into Eternity (2010), Michael Madsen explores this proposed solution for nuclear waste. He sculpts a portrait of the Finnish mega project addressing future generations and civilisations who are supposed to take care of the waste generated in nuclear facilities now. The idea of time is stretched to the unimaginable. This documentary ponders the question of time in this. To what extent could scientific communication with civilizations 100.000 years from now be based on certainty?
