Dok-Kino: FROST OHNE SCHNEE UND EIS
NOR 2026; Director: Asgeir Helgestad; Running time: 94 min; German version
Eleven years after his first encounter with the polar bear Frost on Svalbard, Asgeir Helgestad takes audiences on an emotional journey through the rapidly changing Arctic. Intimate insights into the family life of polar bears – from raising their cubs to the tender care of a mother – are contrasted with the harsh struggle for survival.
Where endless expanses of ice and snow once stretched across the landscape, Frost and her cubs now move across snow-free rocks and mudflats. Climate change and receding glaciers are destroying their natural habitat.
Through breathtaking cinematography, Helgestad poses a poignant question: how can a creature so deeply loved be subjected to such devastating destruction through human actions?
