Point of No Return

Under a microscope tiny shards of ice loom large as glaciers. Using microscopic videography and polarizing lenses, Point of No Return is a visually stunning study of melting ice in real-time. The film provides a micro perspective on climate change, a massive but incremental global event that is usually imperceptible in our day to day lives. With narration in eleven of the most widely-spoken languages in the world,

Point of No Return presents a dialogue in abstraction between emotional understanding and scientific fact in the face of rising global temperatures.
