Special Jury Award - Palm Springs International ShortFest
A baffling account of the consequences of global warming in the Arctic. On a remote coast of Siberia, in a fragile windswept hut, biologist Maxim Chaliev awaits the annual walrus gathering. The warming of the seas and the rise in temperatures, however, cause a dramatic and unexpected change.
Evgenia Arbugaeva (1985) and Maxim Arbugaev (1991) are siblings. She is a documentary photographer, he is a director. Born in Tiksi (Yakutia, Russia), both focus their works on their native land - the Arctic - and the people who live there.
