UTUQAQ by Iva Radivojević – Mason Gross Visiting Filmmaker Series 

UTUQAQ, a film by Iva Radivojević, was produced by the Mason Gross School of the Arts Documentary Film Lab and a student collaborator, Keeks Rogers, who traveled to Greenland to capture the day-to-day choices of a group of scientists led by Rutgers-Geography professor Åsa Rennermalm.

The film will be followed by a post-screening panel with Director Iva Radivojevic, Dr. Asa Rennermalm, Dr. Mary Nucci, Documentary Film Lab Director Thomas Lennon and Filmmaking Chair Patrick Stettner.

About the film: On its vast lunar landscape, the main protagonist of the Arctic is Ice. Four visitors arrive one spring to camp on the ice sheet. Aside from them, there is no other life on the horizon. The visitors are scientists who drill ice cores containing decades of climate history. Utuqaq is a planetary story of the Arctic. It speaks in place of Nature, capturing an otherworldly landscape and that which is being lost.
