The Great White Silence
Documentary
Herbert Ponting travelled to Antarctica with Captain Scott’s ill-fated South Pole expedition and filmed the stunning images that make up this extraordinary documentary. (Originally released in 1912 as With Captain Scott in the Antarctic, the material was re-edited and re-issued by Ponting in 1924 as The Great White Silence.)
VIBE
A starkly beautiful, almost spiritual journey into an alien landscape. It evokes a profound sense of isolation and the humbling power of nature, tinged with the melancholy of a doomed expedition.
