Ice Grave
Ice Grave, directed by Robin Hunzinger, won “Best Documentary Feature” at Light House International Filmfestival in New Jersey. The film is produced by Seppia in collaboration with Dixit International, Relation04 Media, Arte and SVT. Here is the statement from the jury at Lighthouse:
"The film is a Fascinating exploration of a historical moment of survival in the most difficult conditions imaginable - crafted with a beautiful soundscape and offers insight into climate change but in an artistic way- through photographic artifacts - which felt completely unique and truly moved us.
We want to give a very special mention to the films Seized, MyNDA, The Ascent and Public Access for shining light on issues that are critical to our society and which also gave us pause as we felt compelled by the bravery of the filmmakers and their subjects. It was a very difficult decision because all of the films were special and brilliant in their own way".
