Screen International has debuted a trailer for an upcoming documentary titled Into The Ice. The climate change-themed doc is set to premiere at the CPH:DOX Film Festival this March.
According to the trade, the film sees filmmaker sees filmmaker Lars Ostenfeld ‘travel to Greenland with three of the world’s leading glaciologists, to see just how fast the ice sheet is melting, and to understand the consequences of climate change.’
This looks very scary. Into The Ice is actually the opening film from CPH: DOX, which kicks off in Copenhagen on 22nd March. The festival has a more detailed synopsis:
‘INTO THE ICE’ is a visually stunning adventure about the ice sheet in Greenland and the deep secrets of our future hidden within. Despite many years of intense research we still lack answers regarding how fast the Greenland ice sheet is melting. In ‘INTO THE ICE’ we follow alongside three leading scientists: Alun Hubbard, Dorthe Dahl-Jensen and Jason Box. They all fight a dedicated battle to research the ice sheet and better understand the scale of future consequences of climate change. This entails the physical presence of the scientists on the ice as they risk their own lives to research. Director Lars Henrik Ostenfeld and scientist Alun Hubbard are tied to nothing but a rope when they descend into a hole in the ice, 180 meters deep, to shine a light upon how much meltwater the ice holds.
