Presentation:

Chasing Antarctica Q&A

Canadian adventurer, bestselling author and two-time world record holder Connor Emeny joins VIMFF for a special Q&A following Chasing Antarctica.

Connor set out to accomplish something no one had done before: complete an Iron-distance triathlon on all seven continents. Chasing Antarctica follows the final and most extreme chapter of that journey, as he attempts to swim, bike, and run 226 kilometres in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.

What began as an audacious endurance challenge transformed into a much deeper journey of obsession, fear, sacrifice, and the limits we place on ourselves. Following the screening, Connor will share the story behind the film, what it took to pursue an idea that seemed impossible, and what he learned at the edge of the world.
