Is being hit by lightning a random natural
occurrence or a predestined event? Accidents
chance, fate and the elusive quest to make
sense out of tragedy underpin director
ennifer Baichwals (Manufactured Landscapes)
captivating new work, an elegant cinematic
meditation on the metaphysical effects of
being struck by lightning. To explore these
profound questions, Baichwal sought out rivet
ing personal stories from around the
worldfrom a former CIA assassin and a French
storm chaser, to writer Paul Auster and
improvisational musician Fred Frith. The
philosophical anchor of the film, Auster was
caught in a terrifying and deadly storm as a
teenager, and it has deeply affected both his
life and art: It opened up a whole realm of
speculation that Ive continued to live with
ever since. In his doctor brothers
laboratory, Frith experiments with his
guitar to demonstrate the ubiquity of
electricity in our bodies and the universe
Visually dazzling and aurally seductive, Act
of God singularly captures the harsh beauty
of the skies and the lives of those who have
been forever touched by their fury
