Fractal geometry is perhaps the most exciting discovery of contemporary mathematics. FRACTALS: AN ANIMATED DISCUSSION is a rare combination of full-color animated sequences and intriguing interviews. The film turns the Mandelbrot set and the Lorenz attractor into visible and easily comprehensible objects as their discoverers, Benoit Mandelbrot and Edward Lorenz, discuss the background history history and details of their work. The film features spectacular new computer-graphic illustrations of chaos and self-similarity as well as music composed according to fractal principles.
