Antarctic Film Festival in Dunedin

Join us in Dunedin 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.

Before the movies Pat Langhorne will share her journey from Scotland to New Zealand with a passion for sea ice that at first seemed indulgent but proved to be key in understanding how our world works. Pat has positively impacted the lives of many of her students at Otago University and is one of the three central women featuring in the recently released, award winning documentary Mighty Indeed by Vanessa Wells.
