Landscapes at the World's Ends

*Landscapes at the World's Ends* is a non-verbal visual journey to the polar regions of the planet, presented through a triptych montage of photography and video. The film serves as a multi-dimensional canvas of imagery recorded above the Arctic Circle and below the Antarctic Convergence, viewed through the perspective of the polar tourist, who is realistically an outsider in this environment. Filmed during several artist residencies aboard three expedition vessels, New Zealand nature photographer and filmmaker Richard Sidey documents light and time, aiming to share his experiences and the beauty found over the frozen seas. The film features an ambient score by Norwegian Arctic-based musician Boreal Taiga and transports viewers to the islands of South Georgia, the Antarctic Peninsula, Greenland, and Svalbard. *Landscapes at the World's Ends* is the first film in Sidey's *Speechless* trilogy, followed by *Speechless: The Polar Realm* (2015) and *Elementa* (2020).
