This film was shown in Melbourne (Australia) as part of a climate change conference, and essentially shows the efforts of about 20 artists who went on a voyage to the Arctic islands for several weeks, and were asked to interpret what they saw in their own fields of expertise. The artists included a well-known writer, sculptors, a choreographer, an audio engineer, photographers, and so on. What was shown was genuinely original, and had a strong but subtle environmental theme. The group were good company for each other, and for us as viewers. The whole "expedition" was put into historical context very well, and included some material originally shot with 16mm film. So we watched sections of slightly grainy pictures changing into striking wide screen scenes, adding to the visual interest. While not a particularly long film (about 60 minutes), it was fascinating, and well directed. Several of the segments are genuinely original, and a couple are quite humorous. It was also a great "big screen" experience, so try to see it this way if you can.
