Antarctic Film Festival in Rolleston

Join us in Rolleston 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, Lewie Chilcott will tell us about his experiences in Antarctica and his interests and research into seals and other creatures in their harsh and beautiful environment.

Date: Wednesday 3rd September 2025
Time: 6:30pm
Community Centre Lounge, 94 Rolleston Drive, Rolleston
