Poles Apart

The Arctic and the Antarctic have never looked more magnificent or precarious than in Poles Apart – a season exploring the great frontiers of our planet presented by the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) in association with Climarte, from Saturday 18 April to Friday 15 May 2015.

The Poles still remain largely undiscovered and their mysterious panoramas, strange species, gigantic icebergs, impenetrable ice-floes and inhospitable conditions all contribute to the intrigue that guides our fascination with these -ends of the Earth'. Four films feature as part of the season and ACMI Head of Film Programs, Richard Sowada believes each will increase our appreciation of the Poles.
