Organizers of PolarCINEMA announce that registration for the program is
open. This event will take place as part of the IPY Oslo Science
Conference (IPY-OSC) in Oslo, Norway from 8-12 June 2010.
PolarCINEMA will showcase and celebrate unique productions that are
inspired by and increase the awareness of the polar regions. Organizers
invite all filmmakers, reporters, scientists, and educators to send in
their polar productions and be part of this festival at IPY-OSC.
During IPY 2007-2008, film proved a strong instrument to explore new
frontiers of polar science, and mesmerized and informed the public.
Fiction films, documentaries, TV-series and internet broadcasts all
helped translate polar science to the screen; portrayed a rich history
of exploration, culture, and contemporary life; and investigated
peoples' and natures' response and adaptation to a changing climate.
In Oslo, this rich legacy created by professionals and amateurs looking
for new and innovative ways to get the message across will be
celebrated. The PolarCINEMA will include a mixture of screenings,
debates, and open discussions with filmmakers, educators, scientists,
and the public. Topics of discussion will include the success and impact
of the medium in increasing our understanding of the Arctic and
Antarctic and their relation to the rest of the globe.
