DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT
Antarctica as a travel destination has always felt very remote, often unreachable, so much that it never really comes forth as a place one could visit. Back in 2022, when we first decided that we will visit this continent, we were also in a similar state of mind. We really did not know how to take the first step. But as we started researching, the windows of possibilities opened up; we started feeling much closer and connected to the place. That’s when I decided to document our time spent preparing for the expedition, our discoveries on the way, and the final experience.

FAQ
How would you categorize the film?
I would say it's a travelogue-style participatory documentary.
Why did you make this film?
First and foremost, I wanted to have a personal record of our voyage. But, I realized that it could be more. It could be informational, one that tries to break the common perception of Antarctica as a frigid white place, and show it as being capable of color and life. In my opinion, we do not relate well to places that we have a hard time imagining, or just doing it wrong. Antarctica is remote but it is still an important part of our ecosystem. I did not set out to make an environmental awareness film, but I am hoping that seeing more of Antarctica through the eyes of regular people will make the place more believable, bring it closer to us, and incite a sense of ownership.
