Powerlines is a poetic documentary about the mystery of electromagnetic fields, the promise of new energy and the dangers of electromagnetic pollution. An artistic interpretation of a scientific theme, the film weaves together advanced scientific research and ancient knowledge of energy. With music, image and dance, Powerlines explores the differences between the energy of life and the energy we have surrounded ourselves with.
