The U.S. Association of Polar Early Career Scientist (USAPECS) announces
the virtual Polar Film Festival in celebration of Polar Week 2016. The
festival will run Monday through Thursday, 19-22 September 2016.
Organizers have assembled a set of short films, and some longer ones,
around a set of four themes: the cryosphere, polar biology and ecology,
polar regions in the global context, and the human dimension. Each night
scientists with relevant expertise will be watching the films and
available to answer questions via Twitter using #PolarFilmFest.
Event schedule:
- Monday, 19 September: "Frozen Worlds: the cryosphere." These films
include glaciers, sea ice, permafrost, brinicles, and more. - Tuesday, 20 September: "Partly Frozen, Mostly Cute: polar ecology and
biology." These films include penguins, polar bears, Arctic foxes,
sharks, and more. - Wednesday, 21 September: "Climate and Connections: polar regions in
the global picture." These films talk about the roles the polar regions
play in the global climate system. - Thursday, 22 September: "People at the Poles: the human dimension."
The last day of the film festival explores how people live, work, and
play in the polar regions.
