Utuqaq
Iva Radivojević / United States / 2020 / International Premiere / 27 min.
synopsis
An Eskimo poem from frozen plains blends with technological prose of a polar expedition. The endless white space, folded by ice, remembers the millions of years of evolution and decades of our negative effect on the planet. Crude and bewitchingly beautiful Arctic as a place of magic blending of languages, traditions, sounds and worlds.
“The landscape is a symbol to be interpreted.” I. Radivojević
