South
Frank Hurley, Ernest Shackleton / GB, 1919 / 50 min.
Icy cold, snowstorms, hardship: South (1919) is the astounding report on Shackleton’s journey across Antarctica, which can be seen and heard at the Eye Arena with a brand new score performed live by musicians Mark Alban Lotz, Cengiz Arspanlay, Ella Zirina and Suzana Lascu.
At the start of the preceding century, Sir Ernest Shackleton, adventurer and explorer, wanted to traverse the Antarctic plains with 22 men and 70 sled dogs. His ship, the Endurance, was crushed by pack ice. Shackleton managed to get his men to safety and rowed to South Georgia Island, 100 km away in a dinghy with five members of his crew to fetch help.
