Geschreven op 19-5-2010 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Agenda, Klimaat
In September 2009, documentary filmmaker Peter Gilbert joined more than 40 observers - including musicians Laurie Anderson, Jarvis Cocker, Robyn Hitchcock, Ryuichi Sakamoto and writers Suzan-Lori Parks and Andrew Revkin - on an ice-breaking ship for a nine-day voyage off the coast of Greenland with artist-led climate change project, Cape Farewell.
Their goal was to see, experience and contemplate the effects of climate change first-hand - and to begin a creative conversation with the rest of the world about one of the most important and pressing issues facing the future of humanity.
Burning Ice, a feature film documenting the journey of a group of artists off the coast of Greenland. Climate change is a reality which is caused by us all and is a cultural, economic and social problem which has to move beyond scientific debate. Cape Farewell is an artist led project for and about artists, committed to enabling artists to engage the public with creative insights, visions and solutions. The Arctic is an extraordinary place to visit and experience. The invitation is simply to come onboard and be inspired by your arctic experience.
