Contributors to the film are joined by other leading experts in this latest edition of The Colours of Infinity, a comprehensive survey of fractal theory and practice. Incorporating an additional chapter on the money markets by the fractal master himself, Professor Benoît Mandelbrot, the documentary has also been re-mastered providing stunning new fractal animations. A must read for anyone with an interest in the 'beauty and power of fractals'.
