- To most people math appears abstract, mysterious. Complicated. Inaccessible. But math is nothing but a different language to expres the world. Math can be sensual. Math can be tasted, it smells, it creates sound and color. One can touch it an be touched by it...
Synopsis
- "Mathematik als sinnliche Erfahrung — das verspricht der Dokumentarfilm „Colors of Math“. Die russische Regisseurin Ekaterina Eremenko verbindet die Welt des Sehens, Hörens, Riechens, Schmeckens und Tastens mit derjenigen der Zahlen. Das Wesen der Mathematik, dargestellt anhand der fünf Sinne — ein Schachzug, der am Ende aufgeht." Moskauer Deutsche Zeitung
"Possibly the Best Math Movie you haven't seen." Science Friday, USA
„'Colors of Math' builds a bridge from the shore of everyday life to the shore of a phantasmic harmony of divine spheres, sometimes unreachable and thus more attractive.“ Drugoe Kino
“This film generated enournous interest even before it was shown. The topic is difficult, the approach highly unusual. Mathematics is a science that is very hard to visualize. But the work of director Ekaterina Eremenko and the cameraman Pavel Kostomarov consists primarily of striking metaphors and associations. This is not a popularizing film, but rather a philosophical one.” Vesti, Russia
"In this film, outstanding, brilliant mathematicians are shown first of all as exceptional, extraordinary people. This is why this film will be more and more appreciated, as time passes. Most importantly, very few have ever succeeded in PAINTING mathematics." Victor Kossakovsky, Filmmaker
