CHASING ICE WITH GOWAY

Goway Travel has announced that Jeff Orlowski, director of the Oscar-nominated climate change documentary, Chasing Ice, will join the 22-day Antarctic expedition featuring the first-ever floating “Polar Film Festival.” Orlowski’s Chasing Ice chronicles environmental photographer James Balog’s attempts to capture the Earth’s changing climate on film. As his team journeys north to the Arctic, they deploy time-lapse cameras, designed for the unique Arctic climates, to record irrefutable evidence that glaciers are, in fact, melting at record rates. This eye-opening film, which garnered awards at Sundance and Hot Docs, will open the festival’s lineup of illuminating documentaries. Orlowski, director, producer and cinematographer behind Chasing Ice, will be Goway’s special guest during the Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica via Buenos Aires voyage departing Buenos Aires on Nov. 2, 2013. The Floating Polar Film Festival will feature a diverse program of documentaries, curated by Hot Docs, North America’s largest documentary film festival. The films will range in topics from ecology and the environment to exploration and adventure. For more, go to http://www.Goway.com or e-mail [email protected] .
