Polaris

Friday, September 15 until Thursday, September 21, 2023Yukon Theatre

This award-winning made-in-the-Yukon eco-action fantasy set in the year 2144: think Mad Max on skidoos. This popular ALFF 2023 film is back for a week-long theatrical run.

Anchoring the film is actor Viva Lee's performance as Sumi, a ten-year-old girl raised by a polar bear in the frozen dystopian world evading capture by a group of warriors called the Morads. It is only women who have survived the cataclysmic events that occurred prior to the movie. When Sumi stumbles across Frozen Girl, an unlikely friendship is forged and together they race ahead of the vindictive hunters towards the only guiding light Sumi knows - the POLARIS star.

Recommended for ages 13+ for violent and disturbing scenes.

"Funnels a smorgasbord of influences into a fast-paced, all-female eco action fantasy." - Allan Hunter, Screen International
