Presented in partnership with the Elora Adventure Film Festival.Experience remarkable original silent film footage taken from the Shackleton Antarctic expedition (1914-1917) accompanied by a live choral performance in the historic acoustic of St. John's Elora.
South: Sir Ernest Shackleton's Glorious Epic of the Antarctic by filmmaker Frank Hurley is widely regarded as the first feature-length silent documentary film. Originally exhibited in 1919, it was digitally restored in 2022 by the British Film Institute for cinematic viewing.
We present our own licensed original cut of the restored film specifically designed to accompany a live choral performance of composer Tomas Luis de Victoria's Requiem. A rarely-performed masterwork of Renaissance choral music, Victoria's soaring harmonies perfectly complement Hurley's imagery of towering icebergs, icy landscapes, and human strife.
