Kawah Ijen, The Solitary Crater
2002
United Kingdom
20 minutes
Indonesian
In Indonesia. Kawah Ijen is an active volcano. It is also the site of intensive sulphur mining: there is no machinery, only a stream of hardy local labourers. A contemporary twist on the myth of Sisyphus, the film follows these miners on their gruelling journey’from crater to wage clerk’ to ultimately question the ritual of labour.
