Exclusive Polaris Clip
Set in the frozen world of a post-apocalyptic 2144, Sumi (Viva Lee), a young warrior girl raised by a mama polar bear, narrowly escapes capture from the brutal Morad hunting party and sets out across the vast winter landscape. When Sumi stumbles across the mysterious Frozen Girl (Kamisa Wilser), an unlikely friendship is forged and together they race ahead of the brutal rival tribe towards the only guiding light Sumi knows, the Polaris star.
Director Kirsten Carthew describes the movie as “Mad Max in the Arctic, an origin story of a world gone to shame that builds from themes of environmental stewardship/horror.” She adds, “Polaris tells the origin story of a world gone to shame that builds from themes of environmental stewardship/horror. It is inspired by eco-feminism and the need for significant cultural and sustainable change. The film portrays these themes with an entirely female-identifying cast –including the Polar Bear.”
Polaris was the opening night film of the 2022 Fantasia Film Festival, where it also held its world premiere. It had also been screened at Cannes’ Marché du Film as part of the market’s Fantastic 7 initiative.
Epic Pictures Group will release the film on VOD on November 7, 2023.
