| Summary: | After the Ice, the Deluge is a 16 minute film using scanned 16mm; super 8; VHS and iPhone footage taken on a 2019 research trip in the Arctic Circle by the author spliced with found 16mm historical nature documentary footage. The film considers the disappearance of glacier ice and the consequent upwelling of latent microbes and viruses. Here, glacier melt is taken to be a mediating condition between traumatic realities: between an unnameable event in the past, an individual in the present who is in the grips of PTSD, and a heterogeneous future in which a new diversity of beings is emerging. |
