QUEEN WITHOUT LAND

ASGEIR HELGESTAD | NORWAY | 2018 | 70 MIN | G

PA Premiere
A true story of the meeting between Frost, a beautiful polar bear mother, and a Norwegian wildlife filmmaker over four years. Rising temperatures are responsible for dramatic changes in Frost’s ecosystem as the ice in Svalbard, Norway, is melting at record speed. From complete darkness to the absolute light of the midnight sun, Svalbard transforms from a cold and inhospitable place to a joyous and lively scene of ice algae, fish, birds, and animals. But alongside these seasonal transformations, the disappearing sea challenges Frost’s survival.

This film explores the question “can we afford to ignore this planet that is home to us all?”
