Antarctica steals the show
Watching Antarctica: A Year on Ice, you’ll run out of superlatives to describe the experience. Then you’ll start using them all again, in combination, and you’ll still be unable to adequately describe what you’ve seen.This masterpiece of a film was made by Anthony Powell, a Satellite Communications Technician working out of McMurdo Base, the United States station in Antarctica. It’s obvious that the film was born of a deep passion for the place, which he and his wife Christine have returned to, whenever possible, year after year.
How do you share your thoughts about a place which defies description – a place vital to our planet, but which the vast majority will never see? Powell began by taking photographs, recording video, documenting life on the base, the idiosyncrasies of those who work there, and the beauty of the landscape. Over the years, whenever not working on the communications equipment he is responsible for, he’s been working on techniques for gathering images in unusual and hostile conditions, often refining or even creating his own gear in order to capture the experience of living in Antarctica for a year.
The result is brilliant; by turns funny, terrifying and heartbreaking – but always awe-inspiring. It’s not about the cinematography, (although the photography is frequently top-notch, and some of the time-lapse sequences are stunning,) and other than a few matter-of-fact mentions, nor does Powell delve into political or environmental debate. His purpose here is showing the audience what Antarctica is LIKE: how it feels to work there, what it really looks like, what happens there. His success in this endeavour is as superlative as the film.
See Antartctica: A Year on Ice in the cinema – on the biggest screen you can – and then just wonder at it.
