Visionary filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject of time, and once again seeks to film the unfilmable on a journey that takes him to a particle accelerator in Switzerland and lava flows in Hawaii, disintegrating inner-city Detroit and a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment. Mettler dares to dream the movie of the future while also immersing us in the wonder of the everyday.

Visionary filmmaker Peter Mettler takes on the elusive subject of time, and once again seeks to film the unfilmable on a journey that takes him to a particle accelerator in Switzerland and lava flows in Hawaii, disintegrating inner-city Detroit and a Hindu funeral rite near the place of Buddha’s enlightenment. Mettler dares to dream the movie of the future while
also immersing us in the wonder of the everyday.
The End of Time is filmmaker Peter Mettler’s poetic
investigation into the philosophical, scientific, environmental and human
dimensions of time. Travelling from Switzerland’s CERN laboratory to the
hypnotic lava flows of Hawaii, Mettler ponders the incomprehensible. Is time
just a perception? Can we slow it down or speed it up? When did time become
money? Lucid, expansive concepts of time are articulated by physicists,
techno-musicians, Buddhist scholars and ecologists. This expressive meditation
roams between science and art, wonder and doom, the known and the
unfathomable. The result is a profound experience, an opportunity to reflect
upon the biggest questions about the human condition, the future, and that
which exists beyond our physical and spiritual limits.
