Shot on black and white super 8 film, Jóhann Jóhannsson's "End of Summer" is a hypnotic and slow-burning dérive through the austere landscapes of the island of South Georgia and the Antarctic Peninsula. Filmed as a series of mostly static tableaux over a period of 20 days during the waning days of the Antarctic Summer, the film is a startling look at life at the edge of the world. The film is informed by American theorist Timothy Morton's idea of "darc ecology" - in which the old ideas of nature as an object of beatuy and the privileging of the human is disputed. Without narration and with a sound track that blends cello and voices with Jóhann's field recordings from the voyage, the film maps and explores the terrain of an increasingly fragile region.
