DOXA 2022's Opening Presentation of Fire of Love (dir. Sara Dosa) will take place Saturday, May 7 at The Playhouse.

Fire of Love follows volcanologist couple Katia and Maurice Krafft as they travel the world, paddling through lakes of acid and venturing into areas of unstable volcanic activity with awe-inspiring results. Sara Dosa's film incorporates astonishing archival footage shot by the Kraffts themselves, as they dedicate their lives to unraveling the mysteries of the earth's core and our place above it. DOXA is proud to open our 21st annual festival with this epic story of love and obsession, dedication and passion, and that sacred fire burning inside all of us. 

Tickets for the Opening Presentation at The Playhouse are available for purchase here. Following this screening, Fire of Love will also be available online on DOXA's virtual festival platform.
