Entropy
Inuk Jørgensen / Greenland / 2023 / 10 min
Scenic imagery merges with indigenous mythology in a Greenlandic short film about a changing land.
The vast Greenlandic ice sheet has been created over thousands of years, with snowfall after snowfall moulding the land the Inuit call home. As the ice cap is melting, the water will never be able to form this type of ice again. In Greenlandic filmmaker Inuk Jørgensen’s scenic short film ‘Entropy’, the ice cap becomes a symbol of the director’s own people, who have always lived in a close and sacred connection with the nature around them – a connection that is threatened as the ice melts beneath their feet. Climate change is the omnipresent threat in a film that celebrates Greenlandic mythologies and myths as much as it laments the nature we are all losing.
