THE EXPEDITION TO THE END OF THE WORLD
Denmark-Sweden 2013 90 HDCam Color
Film description
A real adventure film – but in a very modern sense. On a three-mast schooner, aboard with artists, scientists and ambitions worthy of Noah or Columbus, we set off towards the end of the world; in this case, the rapidly melting ice massifs in Northeast Greenland. An epic journey, during which the crew – which ranges from artists to geologists and astrobiologists – discovers new species, faces unexpected challenges and addresses a number of questions of a fundamental, existential nature. Curiosity, great pathos and a liberating splash of humor come together in a film that is superbly orchestrated by the talented Daniel Dencik, who in one iconic image after another seduces us far beyond and deep into the historical footnote that is humanity.
