The Antarctic Winter Film Festival

For more than a decade, antarctic winterovers across the continent have held an international film festival. These include timed competitions with themes
and
also
a
free
form
category.
Entries
are
often
silly,
but
rarely dull and
occasionally timely. Sadly, the vast majority are not online yet.

Small correction: The AIFF happens over the summer (winter in the northern hemisphere). I spent a season down there. The films are mostly what an auteur would call “outsider art,” more a collage of goofy crew humor and earnest artistic experimentation than a polished attempt to create a narrative film. There’s a lot of “you had to be there” but the films I have from my season on the ice still bring a smile to my face.
