After Antarctica, directed by Tasha Van Zandt (feature documentary, USA, 2021, 105 minutes)
In a dramatic attempt to bring awareness to the changing continent, an international expedition led by renowned explorer Will Steger embarked on the first-ever coast-to-coast expedition across Antarctica in 1989. Six explorers and their sled dogs braved howling storms, sub-zero temperatures, snow crevasses, and other perils as they traversed the icy terrain.
Now, thirty years since his groundbreaking expedition, Steger heads out on the ice once again—this time to the opposite end of the planet. Deftly weaving his contemporary journey with rare, dynamic footage of his original treacherous seven-month odyssey, After Antarctica is an urgent message spanning both poles. Screening at the 31st Woods Hole Film Festival.
With an introduction from the creative team.
