In the 1930s a trio of unlikely adventurers set off to find a heretofore uncharted land. It has existed in stories and myths for centuries and is believed to be somewhere around the North Pole. Hounded by an overambitious agent of the USSR, the explorers end up finding much more than they ever expected.

Two parallel stories are gradually unfolding the everyday life of two very different persons - that of 86-year-old Sara and 7-year-old Mihka - both residing in Guovdageaidnu - Kautokeino, in the middle of the Norwegian arctic tundra, through the drastic change of the arctic seasons and the passage from the long winter’s darkness to the never-ending light of the summer season.

In Northern Russia, a few dozen people still live in their traditional houses surrounded by water, stone, and sand. Cut off from vital infrastructure, almost forgotten by regional governance, these people have to cope with their everyday struggles.

Like a lone cowboy, Sergei passionately devotes his life to traditional horse breeding in the impenetrable Arctic Sakha; permafrost and the absence of roads, electricity and channels of communication mean that there is nobody else to rely on but oneself. Sergei is sensitive and introspective; he truly cares about his family, community and treats nature with the utmost respect. He loves the independence and freedom this life brings, despite the immense sacrifices that it necessitates, such as total isolation and being a stranger to his own children. Spectacular camerawork characterizes the Sakha horses in all their magnificence, and juxtaposes the post-soviet towns and the boundless taiga landscapes, where the cold bites through the screen.

ARCTIC SUMMER is a poetic meditation on Tuktoyaktuk, an Indigenous community in the Arctic. The film captures Tuk during one of the last summers before climate change forced Tuk's coastal population to relocate to more habitable land.

Post-apokalyptinen tarina kertoo Augustinesta, joka on arktisella alueella asuva yksinäinen tutkija. Augustine huomaa uutta maata etsimässä olleen avarusaluksen palaavan maahan ja joutuu nyt kilpailemaan aikaa vastaan pelastaakseen Sullyn ja tämän astronauttiryhmän estämällä heidän paluunsa avaruudesta kotiin keskelle merkillistä globaalia katastrofia.

In 1984, a Russian research team goes below the surface to find out what secret the world's deepest borehole is hiding. On their expedition, something unexpectedly gruesome awaits the researchers.

Inuiitit ovat eläneet vuosisatoja jäätyneellä merellä. Nyt kun ilmastonmuutos sulattaa merivesiä nopeasti ja avovesiä hyödynnetään, hauras tasapaino yhteisön, maan ja villieläinten kesken on vaarassa. Aggressiivisen kolonisaation erottamat Kanadan inuiitit ja Gröönlannin inuiitit yhdistävät voimansa suojellakseen jäljellä olevaa maailmaansa. Kuunteleeko maailma?

In the Arctic, ice is both all around and constantly disappearing. “Utuqaq” explores climate change from the perspective of this beautiful and vital element, as four researchers embark on an expedition to drill ice cores in subzero temperatures.

Why do we do incredibly difficult things that have no practical application? Is there a parallel between geographic and artistic exploration? Fram is a documentary and travel film about two friends journeying to the end of the earth, in order to make a dance film in the arctic wilderness of Svalbard. En route, they explore the history of our ideas of the Arctic, along with the grand questions of life, art and our place in the world. Sharing their love of discovering new geographic and artistic frontiers, choreographer-dancer-filmmakers and outdoor enthusiasts Thomas Freundlich and Valtteri Raekallio take the viewer on an engaging journey to a place where few have been and even fewer have danced.

Climate change has reached the indigenous Nenets people in the north of Siberia. The nomads' herds of reindeer move on thin ice. The warming in the Russian Arctic is becoming dramatically visible. Huge craters open in the thawing permafrost and expose dangerous viruses and bacteria. Forest floors dry out and the taiga catches on fire. The pack ice off the coast is melting and depriving polar bears of their habitat so that they approach human settlements in their desperation. The changes in the nature of the Arctic Circle combine with the measurements of researchers and observations of the indigenous people to form a disturbing overall picture: In the Russian Arctic, Pandora's box has been opened! The film team had the chance to shoot in regions that were been restricted areas for decades. The documentary shows in impressive and depressing images already existing effects, phenomena and ominous interlinkages of global warming.

Anerca on elokuva arktisen alueen alkuperäiskansojen hengityksestä. Hengitystä on kahdenlaista, on elämää ylläpitävää hengitystä ja olemassa oloa ilmaisevaa hengitystä. Inuiittien kielessä runon synnyttämistä merkitsevä sana on sama sana kuin sana hengittää. Sana on johdannainen sanasta anerca. Anerca merkitsee sielua, elämän hengitystä. Kun henkilö, yhteisö tai kansa hengittää olonsa riemua tai tuskaa, se ilmituo jotain, joka on irti arkipäivästä tai on syvällä arkipäivässä ja, joka on hengittäjälle tärkeätä, se on elämän hengitystä.

A black-and-white visual meditation of wilderness and the elements. Wildlife filmmaker Richard Sidey returns to the triptych format for a cinematic experience like no other.

How in 1959, during the heat of the Cold War, the government of the United States decided to create a secret military base located in the far north of Greenland: Camp Century, almost a real town with roads and houses, a nuclear plant to provide power and silos to house missiles aimed at the Soviet Union.

Two Canadian experts in underwater filming, Mario Cyr and Jill Heinerth, join forces for the first time to record how Arctic wildlife is adapting to the dramatic effects of climate change.

Stranded on an arctic island with a dying man in 1921, an Alaskan seamstress must overcome her fears of the wilderness and find the strength to survive if she ever hopes to return home to her son. Inspired by the true story of Ada Blackjack.

Does doctor Jan Terelak belong to an “elitist” group of the most unethical experimenters? The Polish scientist tested boundaries of human mental resilience in extreme conditions of solitude in Antarctica. The starting point for Piotr Jaworski's documentary is the psychologist's journal. The project from forty years ago was focused on studying the mental condition of polar explorers at the Polish station. Men were in the situation of confinement, comparable to a space mission. The film reconstructs these events, referring to the then contemporary context and changes in the perception of science.

Övergård on selvinnyt hengissä lentokoneen pudottua arktiselle erämaa-alueelle. Hän on odottanut pelastumista jo pidemmän aikaa ja neuvokkaana henkilönä hän on muovannut itselleen kohtalaisen tukikohdan, jossa ruokaa ja vettäkin on tarjolla jatkuvasti. Övergårdin päivät sujuvatkin tarkkojen ja toistuvien rutiinien parissa, joilla hän pyrkii pitämään negatiiviset ajatukset kurissa pelastusta odotellessaan. Hänellä on kartta, johon on merkitty lähin tutkimusasema, mutta matka sinne läpi lumisen erämaan on todella pitkä, suojaton ja vaarallinen. Yllättäen Övergårdin päivärutiinin katkaisee helikopterin ääni. Helpotus vaihtuu pian epäuskoksi helikopterin joutuessa äkillisen tuulenpuuskan riepottelemaksi, jolloin se paiskautuu voimalla maahan. Övergård juoksee putoamispaikalle. Toinen lentäjistä on hengissä, mutta pahoin loukkaantunut ja tajuton. Övergårdin on saatava nainen hoitoon, muutoin tämä kuolee. Alkaa uhkarohkea matka läpi valtavan valkoisen erämaan kohti tutkimusasemaa.
