Movies For Your Mind
The Ice People
6 p.m., Anchorage Museum
France/USA documentary 2008, 77 minutes
MPAA RATING: Not rated. Directed by Anne Aghion.
A once-in-a-lifetime journey with Antarctica’s 21st-century explorers
http://www.icepeople.com
From the official web site:
Unique in the genre of exploration and adventure films, ICE PEOPLE takes you on one of the earth’s most seductive journeys—Antarctica. Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker Anne Aghion spent four months “on the ice” with modern-day polar explorers, to find out what drives dedicated researchers to leave the world behind in pursuit of science, and to capture the true experience of living and working in this extreme environment. And, as it turns out, the film also witnesses one of the most significant discoveries about climate change in recent Antarctic science.

Dance Discussion & Workshop
Special Dance Discussion/Workshop by Gabrielle Barnett. Work with movement improvisation structures designed to bring awareness to our habits and choices of orientation — in relation to the space around us and other people. Learn a score that will be part of the afternoon performance along the Delaney Park Strip and through downtown to the Museum — workshop participants will be welcome to join that section of the performance. Appropriate for people of all ability levels — no dance training necessary.
