Art from the Arctic on the Sundance Channel

Cape Farewell film Art from the Arctic

Broadcasts on the Sundance Channel (USA)

Monday 21st and Monday 28th April 2008

As part of THE GREEN, Sundance Channel presents a series of documentary films focusing on timely and pressing environmental issues of the day.

Included in the series is Art from the Arctic, screening on the Sundance Channel in the USA on Monday 21st and  Monday 28th April 2008.

From 2003 to 2005, British artist/filmmaker David Buckland organized three sailing expeditions to the High Arctic as part of a series of collaborations between artists, educators and scientists, designed to create public awareness of global climate change. David Hinton's film captures those expeditions, immersing us in the Arctic's otherworldly sights, sounds and silences as Buckland and his companions - including composer Max Eastley, photographer Alex Hartley, writer Ian McEwan and sculptor Rachel Whiteread - explore the dramatic landscape.
