The Colours of Infinity

A set of films exploring mathematics by the author and filmmaker Nigel Lesmoir-Gordon, with contributions from Arthur C. Clarke, Benoit Mandelbrot, Ian Stewart, and Michael Barnsley. For the first time together these three brilliant films study science, mathematics, and observable universe. "Colours of Infinity" celebrates the discovery of the Mandelbrot Set, one of the most profound and remarkable events in the history of mathematics. The film explores the revolutionary world of Fractal Geometry - its far-reaching and often unexpected implications - what it means, its internal consistency, and the revolutions in thought resulting from its discovery. Following the success of COLOURS Nigel wrote, produced and directed the broadcast documentary "Clouds are not Spheres", a biographical portrait of Benoit Mandelbrot, the founding father of fractal geometry. The third film, "Is God a number?”, is an account of the science of mathematics and its connection to mind and consciousness.
