‘Fire of Love,’ for free

One of the best romantic dramas to come out of this year’s Sundance Film Festival is entirely true. The documentary “Fire of Love” tells of Maurice and Katia Krafft, whose love for each other was matched only by their shared love of exploring volcanoes — which they did by getting as close to them as possible with cameras, filming lava flows and ash explosions. The screening of director Sara Dosa’s film starts Thursday at 9:15 p.m. at Red Butte Garden, 300 Wakara Way, Salt Lake City. Admission is free, but registration is recommended; go to sundance.org/sundancelocals for information.
