Synopsis

When winter arrives in Antarctica most life departs, but not the male emperor penguin or the film crew. Filming this created intense personal and technical challenges. The camera team spent a whole year on location, enduring some of the most extreme conditions on the planet. A 35mm film camera was specially winterised to combat the cold, whiteouts and blizzards.
