| | | | In autumn 2005 Biologist and filmmaker Jean Lemire, accompanied aboard the schooner Sedna IV by a handpicked team of scientists and filmmakers, dared to experience climate change and its consequences within Antarctica’s icy grip. They spent 430 days of daring, isolation, danger, intensity. It was a spectacular adventure full of risks and triumphs, joys and perils. The crew was prepared for the worst but faced even worse! “Le Dernier Continent” is a testament to a human adventure at once chilling and inspiring. The film alternates between captivating images of deep serenity and spinetingling sequences in which the ship’s crew finds itself on the edge of catastrophe. The crew members live out their most exhilarating highs and grimmest lows. With “Le Dernier Continent”, Jean Lemire earns the viewer’s admiration on every level: majestic landscapes, fascinating wildlife, a courageous and sensitive crew, relevant and troubling environmental information, exceptional filmmaking. The film is a worthy tribute to the courageous Sedna IV mission, It documents a voyage to the heart of the last continent: Antarctica. |
