Only slightly less miraculous than the eventual rescue of Ernest Shackleton�s entire crew was the survival of incredible footage shot by Frank Hurley and later assembled into South, a gripping travelogue recently restored from surviving prints and original glass slides. The film is a fascinating record of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1914-16 Polar expedition.

On his return Shackleton's lecture tour featured the film and he read extracts from his own diaries to the audience whilst the audience watched the film. Whilst not a re-creation of these shows exactly we have been working closely with Bristol Silents patron and actor Paul McGann to bring Shackleton's own words and passion once more to accompany this extraordinary film live.

This screening is part of Bristol Silent's ongoing 10th year anniversary celebrations. A unique cinematic experience not to be missed!

This restored print is accompanied by Stephen Horne�s multi-instrumental talents and Paul McGann reading extracts from Shackleton's diaries.

Dir. Frank Hurley, Australia / UK, 1919, 1h 28m
