Join us in Wanaka for an unforgettable evening of storytelling from the coldest place on Earth.
The New Zealand Antarctic Society is proud to present a curated selection of captivating short films from the heart of Antarctica. This compelling programme blends stunning documentary footage that reveals the continent’s stark beauty, unforgiving conditions, climate change, penguin antics and stories captured by inventive, often humorous, entries from the Winter International Film Festival of Antarctica’s 48-Hour Challenge, an annual showcase of creativity and resilience from those who live and work on the Ice.
But before the movies, Lou Sanson will share his Antarctic story as the former Chief Executive of Antarctica New Zealand where he oversaw New Zealand’s presence and science operations on the ice, including at Scott Base.
