Synopsis

In the Arctic, the Norwegian city of Longyearbyen, located in the Svalbard archipelago, has been extracting coal for one hundred years as an energetic and economic source, which stirs many environmental paradoxes. In 2015, the mayor election year, the coal prices fall and the issue of sustainable development starts to emerge in the minds. According to some scientists, politicians and city locals, Longyearbyen is now facing a race against the clock.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 13

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
