Eucalypt Productions’ Stephen Curtain recently attended the Antarctic Midwinter Festival in Hobart, Tasmania on 20–21 June 2009 to screen Intrinsic. This short seven minute wildlife and landscape film, filmed over three months in the 2007–2008 season, accompanied Werner Herzog’s Academy Award nominated Encounters at the end of the World. With fellow Antarctic photographers and adventurers David Sinclair (see www.davidsinclairimages.com) and Michael Gatehouse, keep an eye out for unfolding travels in the near future to the large ice cube down south. Many thanks to Paul Cullen, festival director.
