"Antarctica" is a unique 40 minute motion picture that portrays the history, science, delicate ecology and awsome beauty of Antarctica - the world's southernmost continent. For the first time in history the mysterious icy expanse of the highest, driest and coldest continent has been captured in the giant screen format. The film takes viewers to the home of penguins, seals and the other exotic life forms and also focuses on the activities conducted at many scientific research stations established by countries from around the world. A Heliograph production directed and produced by John Weiley, "Antarctica" continues to set records world wide. First released in 1992 the film has this year played in more theatres than most of the more recently released Imax films. Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry was the executive producer and co-financed the film, and now acts as its distributor. |
