PARK CITY, Utah — The 2022 Sundance Film Festival film Fire of Love has been nominated for an Oscar Award in the category of Best Documentary.

Although it was on more literal small screens than big during the hybrid, pandemic Fest’s online viewing in 2022, it won a Sundance Jury Award. The film was purchased that week by National Geographic Films.

Fire of Love shows a real life romance between two French scientists, and between the couple’s romance with all too real volcanoes.
