InScience Film Festival
!Aitsa

!Aitsa

This film takes us to the Karoo, a desert in South Africa the size of Germany. In 2018, construction of a gigantic telescope started here, with which contemporary scientists will look back in time in search of answers about the origin of the universe

What does this cosmic hunger for knowledge do to the original population who have inhabited this pristine land for centuries? And how does modern science relate to the ancient knowledge of the residents about this place and its history? !Aitsa is a grand story about high-tech science, ancient spiritual knowledge and colonial history.
