You may have already heard, but for those who haven’t, my film, The Antarctica Challenge: A Global Warning, has been invited to screen at the International Polar Year Science Conference in Oslo, Norway, June 8 to 12.
This is a rare honour for any filmmaker – in fact, there are only 10 films being screened in total – but even moreso when you consider that it is the only film to screen for both delegates attending the conference and for the public attending the PolarCINEMA Film Festival taking place at the same time.
The film will be screened throughout the conference to more than 2,600 polar scientists at an event that is being billed as the biggest environmental conference since Copenhagen.
It’s at this event that the world’s scientific community will be announcing their findings following two years of intense study in the Arctic and Antarctica during International Polar Year (2007 to 2009).
After debuting at COP15 at the invitation of the United Nations, I am thrilled to present the film to the scientists whose work the film profiles.
This high-profile conference is one of the most eagerly-anticipated events among the world’s environmental media.
To take advantage of this, sponsorships are being made available but only until June 5. To secure your place at this historic conference write now for details: mark@polarcapproductions.com.
