ANTARCTIC VOYAGE (2024)
Sunday, August 3rd at 2 PM
Also screening two short films THE DUCK OF NEW YORK and ABERRATIONS OF LIGHT
Featuring a discussion and Q&A with director Kevin Schreck in person
Antarctic Voyage is a new documentary from award-winning filmmaker Kevin Schreck about a biological research expedition to the remote island of South Georgia, starring charismatic field biologist, Dr. Samantha Monier. Part modern-day adventure film, part visual tone poem, Antarctic Voyage sheds a light on the current state of the polar region's majestic wildlife, and the intrepid explorers who are dedicated to preserving and understanding what remains of our fragile, vital natural world, all through a refreshingly unconventional manner from the standard nature documentary genre.

Aberrations of Light is a short, experimental science documentary, inspired by the writings of Carl Sagan, and shot on 16mm film. (2009, 5 min.)
