An award winning film, Chasing Ice, about the planet’s melting glaciers, will be shown in Bermuda later this month. The film, which will be shown by Bermuda Docs and the BUEI, was presented with the Excellence in Cinematography Award at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and was described as “visually breathtaking” by Variety.The winner of 23 festival awards, this stunningly beautiful documentary by filmmaker Jeff Orlowski follows National Geographic photographer James Balog once a climate-change skeptic as he brings to life the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS), a massive photography project utilising 30 cameras across three continents to gather visual evidence of the Earth’s melting glaciers.Chasing Ice, which will be shown on Sunday, February 17 at the BUEI, tells the story of this visionary artist and his band of adventurers as they bequeath the magic of photography and the thrill of expedition to a new generation while capturing the most visible signs of climate change on the planet today. These hauntingly beautiful videos compress years into seconds and document ancient mountains of ice in motion as they disappear at an alarming rate. Part adventure, part environmental activism, and full of gorgeous photography unlike anything seen before, Chasing Ice is a one-of-a-kind documentary that both celebrates the beauty of our world and raises important issues of what is happening to it.The film will be shown at 3 pm and tickets are on sale at Oceans Gift Shop, BUEI, or by calling 297-7314.
