Miscellany, Antarctica, film, North Atlantic, Southern Ocean
It's a golden age for short film, and Vimeo is where it is at (YouTube, home to adrenalized crash and burn craziness, is the perfect complement). And that opens up a world of experience and emotion for sailors and anyone who loves the sea and remote lands.
Here, for example is a sneak peak at a forthcoming film about a small boat journey to Antarctica to explore (and snowboard) its snowy wilds:
Ep1 Mission Antarctic from TimeLine Films on Vimeo.
And here is a short film, called "North Atlantic," that is a very quiet and powerful meditation on the deep emotional connection that can develop between two strangers across the search and rescue equation. It's based on a true story and has been racking up audience awards at multiple film festivals.
