After providing some of the first visual evidence of climate change through the study of melting glaciers, James Balog returns to Iceland to close the last chapter of his life's work. 40 minutes.
If a single photo can inspire change, how influential are a million images? Over the course of the 15-year Extreme Ice Survey project, photographer James Balog and his team brought some of the world’s first and most compelling visual evidence of climate change to the global stage as he depicted the rapid melting of glaciers around the world.
Thoughtfully helmed by acclaimed director Jeff Orlowski-Yang ("Chasing Ice," "Chasing Coral," "The Social Dilemma") and first-time filmmaker Sarah Keo, "Chasing Time" is a meditative exploration of time and mortality, following James and his crew as they bring the decades-long project to a close, cataloging more than 1 million images in the process. The short documentary reunites James and the Emmy-winning team behind "Chasing Ice" to capture the end of the epic undertaking and spotlight the power of an intergenerational effort to seed hope and inspire action toward a sustainable future.
Screening followed by a Q&A with filmmaker, Sarah Keo.
