An unforgettable evening of storytelling from the coldest place on Earth. The New Zealand Antarctic Society is proud to invite you to a presentation by Meghan Maloney and a curated selection of captivating short films from the heart of Antarctica.
The films blend stunning documentary footage, curated by award winning filmmaker Anthony Powell, that reveals the continent’s stark beauty, unforgiving conditions, climate change, and penguin antics with stories captured by inventive and funny entries from the Winter International Film Festival of Antarctica’s 48-Hour Challenge, an annual showcase of creativity and resilience from those who winter-over on the Ice.
Before the films, we'll hear from Meghan who is a full-time landscape photographer, educator, and a Sony Ambassador. Meghan Maloney, will talk about her 3 seasons of working in Antarctica as a photography guide, helping others improve their photography skills whilst experiencing unique and amazing locations and wildlife.
“The Antarctic Film Festival is about bringing Antarctica to the people of New Zealand, through science, art, humour, and personal connection,” says Hubertien Wichers, President of the New Zealand Antarctic Society. “The tour has been very successful, inspiring audiences and connecting the local community through Antarctica. For example, we connected Scouts who went to the Ice in the early 1960’s with young Scouts doing their Antarctic badges, sharing their stories and inspiring the next generation of explorers. But the serious aspect is to raise awareness about the role Antarctica plays in our climate. Antarctica tells us about the history of the planet, the changes that are going on and what the future may hold for us and the next generations."
