South

The story of the Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton in his ill-fated trip of 1914 has become the stuff of heroic legend. Their ship having sailed south breaks in the ice and Shackleton and a crew of the 5 strongest ( including Kerryman Tom Crean) take to a 20 foot lifeboat embarking on a hazardous 800 miles to South Georgia Island to mount a rescue mission. The other 22 men of the crew wait on Elephant Island. One of the original crew members was photographer and filmmaker Frank Hurley who came equipped with still and movie cameras. Funds for the expedition had in fact been raised on the promise of revenues from the film. When the ship was crushed by pack ice Hurley grabbed his undamaged glass negatives from the rising ice water. In 1919 Shackleton showed Hurley’s completed film, including stills from the rescued glass negatives, in fund raising lectures. 75 years later the British Film Institute restored it and this film record allows us to see an epic struggle for survival brought to life. South will be accompanied by original piano score performed by Phill Collins. Location: Christ Church Cathedral Time: 7pm – Date(s): 01/11/2008 – 01/11/2008
