Antarctica as a cinematic destination
Antarctica has no national cinema, permanent citizen population, or native film industry, so this route is necessarily different. Its guide collects outside works that make the continent itself—not a substitute location—their sustained subject or setting.
The selections move between expedition records, nature documentary, isolation stories, and speculative horror. Together they trace how cinema has turned the least inhabited continent into both evidence and myth.
