“A Short Film About Ice” is a Cinematic Poem Short Film” in Arctic Directed by Adam DJ Laity.
Filmed, Edited and Directed by: Adam DJ Laity
A film-poem documenting the journey of a cinematographer through the changing landscapes of the Arctic.
The camera bears witness to the shapes and colours of glaciers, tundra, mountains and sea ice while the filmmaker explores the role of the human and the artist in such landscapes in the time of the Anthropocene.
Touching on themes of aesthetics, cultural responsibility, inter-connectivity and eco-anxiety the film aims to provoke discussion about the need to re-conceptualise how we make and disseminate images, in order to see ourselves as an integral part of the world rather than seeing ourselves as in front of or separate to nature.

“Sailing peacefully across the river Li in Guilin, Chia,
men fished using trained cormorants since 960 AD.
Fishing with these birds in an ancient tradition which
was practiced in a handful of countries over thousands
of years.
Today the method (no longer sustainable) is a decaying
virtue. Most of the Li River is closed to fishing.
The primary image on the reverse side of the 20 Yuan note
is a view of a fisherman on his bamboo raft floating down
the Li River through the spectacular Karst mountains.”
At darkness hour, every dawn
I took the light and you aboard
In our world, of force and skill
the silent bond that we both built
with bare purpose to provide
yet catching beauty with our eyes
not every turn the river made
I knew, yet didn’t hesitate
and through these moments flashing by
I felt the current of our time
With every chance we caught the stream
It felt as if I lived the dream
and marked with screaming scars of joy
the flow of passing silent void
And when the times took you away
I lived and saw up to the days
Of world so vast to comprehend
Of changing streams I could not sail
i thought as generations passed
if they relate to one of us
some other place, from dusk to dawn
the paths we cross, to rise and fall
to catch the moment of the day
and share it with you to stay.
