Welcome to IndieCork!
Main Sponsor
Supported by Rising Sons Brewery
We’re back with a second IndieCork festival within
eighteen months of our founding.
Marcin Lewandowski
This second edition is inspired by the creativity of film makers,
music makers and emerging and independent talents who we
are privileged to platform at IndieCork. We are delighted to be
able to offer a welcome, positive place to screen new work, to
play new music, and to develop their craft and careers.
We have organised a rich week of screenings, talks,
workshops, panels, gigs and inevitably, some fine craft beer.
Our venues are our partners in this endeavor; The Gate our
busy hub, with screenings throughout the day and evening.
On Thursday 16th October we have a full day in Triskel Arts
Centre, with special screenings and presentations from
renowned film artists. The Firkin Crane partner with us this
year, and we present dance and poetry film specials there.
Each night at The Crane Lane, the focus turns to new music,
new talent and a welcome festival club ‘til late!

A Welcome from IndieCork’s sponsor
– Rising Sons Brewery
IIn the months since the first edition of IndieCork, Rising Sons
Brewery has come to fruition and is now a lively venue on
Cork’s historic Coal Quay. IndieCork is rapidly becoming an
established national event for the independent film sector and
Cork continues to be an exciting city to live in and visit.
Rising Sons Brewery and Cork Heritage Pubs are happy to be
associated with the social and cultural life of the city. We’re
particularly delighted to have been the founding sponsor of
IndieCork and in its second year to have helped it expand to
an eight-day event.
Independent cinema and craft beer seem to us to be a good
combination. We are also pleased that the Crane Lane is
the venue for the parallel IndieCork music programme and
festival club.
We welcome the many young filmmakers to Cork and we
salute their spirit of independence and we congratulate
Úna and Mick and the IndieCork team for presenting us with
another exciting festival, with more to come.
Clíona McCabe
Rising Sons Brewery
We thank Clíona and Benny McCabe for their vision and faith
in IndieCork and their inspiring encouragement. The opening
of Rising Sons Brewery on Cornmarket Street, has brought
a welcome craft industry to Cork, mirroring our hopes and
dreams for IndieCork. Onward!

Relations between a class of teenagers and their new German language teacher are extremely
tense. Robert, the teacher, is aloof, authoritative and demanding; he lectures on Thomas Mann
and expects his pupils to rise when he enters the room. When one of the class, retiring young
musician Sabina, takes her own life shortly after being reprimanded by Robert, vengeful youth
rebellion stirs among the benches. In tones of chilly blue, Rok Biček captures the nuance of a
fierce power struggle between teacher and students where all may not be as it appears.

Oppressed by her family setting, dead-end school prospects and the boy gangs in her
neighbourhood, Marieme starts a new life after meeting a group of three free-spirited girls.
She changes her name, her dress code, and quits school to be accepted in the gang, hoping
that this will be a way to freedom.

Mutual Appreciation Society

Gerard Walsh / Ireland / 2013 / 90 minutes
Rouzbeh Rashidi & James Devereaux / Ireland / 2014 / 62 minutes
‘A Day Like Today’ centres around a chance meeting between two people, Alice and Joe. Alice
is a wife stuck in a toxic relationship and Joe is a seemingly homeless person with a troubled
past. They see their chance meeting as an opportunity to forget about their lives for a day and
just live…
“Mutual Admiration Society is the coolest, coldest, emptiest, flattest, most minimalist, most
ruthless, most bizarre hitman man film ever made. It came about because Rouzbeh Rashidi
and I decided to make a feature film in seven days. There was no script, no planning, we didn’t
even have any ideas, we simply allowed the weirdness from our subconscious to burble to the
surface of our minds, and acted on the messages it sent to us. At the start of production, all we
knew was the film’s title and that it was going to be in black and white. And then we worked
round the clock to make it happen. I would shoot improvised scenes in London by day, and
send the material, via the internet, to Rouzbeh, who, by night, would take it through his postproduction process, giving it a form and refining the aesthetic.” James Devereaux

Don wants to reconnect with his estranged family. His partner, Lisa, wants to live a life free of
his violent rages. Ritchie, their neighbour, wants to get away from his miserable home life and
from the clutches of brutal gangster Tony.
December 2002: As a bleak Christmas Eve dawns upon Dublin city, a young couple struggle to
deal with an unwanted pregnancy. The cold day to come will lead them through many trials
of betrayal and separation. All the while, the entire world holds its breath in expectation of an
imminent US invasion of Iraq.
Shot over 13 days last winter in Cork, this no-budget film is a stark, heartfelt portrait of
struggling families, mental illness and isolation.

Jack & Ralph Plan A Murder

Jeff Doyle / Ireland / 2013 / 70 minutes
Ray Hyland / Ireland / 2014 / 58 minutes
Jack is a mild-mannered man whose life reaches a turning point when a co-worker
unmercifully bullies him. Along with his loud-mouthed imaginary friend Ralph, Jack decides
to take revenge on his torturer in the most final manner possible. The world that Jack and
Ralph inhabit is nightmarish and dream-like in equal measure; every character is exaggerated
and there’s a fine line between the crude and the vulgar, but Ralph’s nastiness is almost always
balanced out by Jack’s sincerity.
A young London executive arrives in Ireland to shut down operations in a Dublin call centre.
Only a few jobs are to be retained in this ‘Reduction In Force’ (RIF). Every staff member will
have to fight tooth and nail to survive the cull in this wry look at the knock-on effects of
Ireland’s financial downturn.

Human Capital
Joel Potrykus / US / 2013 / 86 minutes
Trevor Newandyke is a struggling comedian and a pyromaniac. Not only does his act bomb
on stage, but he bombs at everyday life, too. Fed up with threats from the cable company,
Slurpee price-hikes and everyone who thinks they can push him around, all Trevor wants is a
break. Instead of getting himself together or channeling his anger for his act, he turns inward,
to the loud din of his headphones and the crackling glow of fire to ease his mind.

A social gathering is rocked to its core when Jack accuses his best friend’s wife of infidelity.
As the allegations start flying, it soon emerges that far more sinister intentions may be at play…
An Italian neo-noir adaptation of the novel by Stephen Amidon, Human Capital tells the story
of two families in Milan, one middle-class and the other extremely rich, and how they are
brought together through their teenage children and a mysterious Christmas Eve car accident.
Their multi-layered tale is retold in turn through the eyes of Dino (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) a tragic
estate agent, then by his daughter Serena (Matilde Gioli) and by Carla (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi),
the wife of a heartless capitalist who will not hesitate to place a value on human life.
The director will be present for the screening.

‘This slick, stylish fusion of class critique and murder mystery confirms Paolo Virzi as one of
Italy’s more dynamic directors. The performances are flawless’ - Jay Weissberg, Variety
Bobby Tierney, the superintendent of a tenement building in New York City, goes to Ireland
to carry out his mother’s dying wish to be buried next to her long-lost love. Once in Ireland,
he is dragged down one rabbit hole after another by a mysterious drifter. Eventually Bobby
succeeds in carrying out his mother’s wish – and gets much more than he planned for. Set in
New York and the village of Kilcrohane in West Cork, director Kevin Baggott recruited a cast of
locals to perform in his film.
‘A top-flight cast gives the character-driven drama depth and conviction ... [they] explore the
unhappiness of rich and poor alike in a society that measures a person’s value in terms of
euros. The term “human capital” is legalese that designates an accident victim’s net worth in
compensation claims.’ - Hollywood Reporter

Pied Piper
Big Significant Things
Bryan Reisberg / US / 2014 / 85 minutes
Craig decides to avoid the inevitability of impending adulthood by taking a trip across the
South Country Interstate Highways, unsure as to whether he’s running away from his career,
his cold fiancée and the house they’re about to buy, or simply from himself. Disillusioned,
he spends his days chasing after local landmarks and ‘biggest in the world’ objects like giant
buckets and chairs, searching for answers in the big insignificant things.
“Big Significant Things is a magnificent gem of a film that asks more questions than it gives
answers, and rightly so.” – Next Projection
“As a wry confection, the dialogue here engages; the cinematography and direction also rate
top marks.” – The Austin Chronicle
Sat 18th / 9.00pm

‘The highest compliment anyone can pay Bryan Reisberg’s directorial debut is that it feels
like the work of a veteran filmmaker with several features under his belt. You may see more
self-contained indies at the festival this year, but you may not find any that are quite so
accomplished.’ – Movie Mezzanine

Norbert Pfaffenbichler / Austria / 2013 / 80 minutes
Vivek Budakoti / India / 2013 / 113 minutes
‘A Masque of Madness’ uses found footage to follow Boris Karloff through five motion picture
decades as supporting actor in silent films, star in talking pictures, and television host. The film
gathers, in the necessary glory, the ever same rituals of horror film and gestures of exotic danger.
But it also exposes the tracks that history has left behind in them, especially the two world wars,
and certain technological advances.
Seen through the prism of Bertolt Brecht, Pied Piper is a satirical folklore of a simple
laundryman, Chunnilal, who is rumored to have acquired his beloved donkey’s brains in a
freak accident. Charming millions with his asinine conscience that refuses to let go, Chunnilal
soon rises to become the most popular hero of his time whom the establishment starts to fear.
Laced with black humour, the film mirrors the current socio-political status in India, ranging
from extreme disappointment to almost juvenile hopefulness.
Time after time, Karloff has to work through the Frankenstein-dream of synthetic life: as
Promethean creator and enslaved creature in one and the same person.

Never released in the Anglophone world, Salvatore Giuliano is the story of corruption in the Mafia and of
listed it as one of his twelve favourite films.
Erik Sparrow is not too bright. He’s not very attractive. He’s not at all ambitious. He’s chubby
and he’s always complaining. When his girlfriend Jody proposes to him, he doesn’t have the
good sense to accept her offer. His life starts falling apart and he becomes riddled with despair.
One night, when Erik meets an enigmatic stranger who asks him, “Do you want to die?” Erik
shrugs and accepts the offer. When Erik wakes up from the resulting darkness, he finds himself
changed forever…

Italy’s most wanted bandit, told through the fight for Sicily’s independence to the discovery of Giuliano’s
death in 1950. Originally in black and white, Francesco Rosi’s beautifully filmed portrait was shot by Gianni
di Venanzo (Fellini’s 8½). Rosi used the exact locations and casted many who were personally involved in
Giuliano’s life, while the only professional actors used were Frank Wolff and Salvo Randone. Martin Scorsese

Facing death, terminally ill Iranian Parvis Karimpour wants to reconcile with his daughter and
enters Spain illegally. He and his fellow African travellers are dumped from a boat by the Spanish
coast at dawn. He makes his way to Madrid where he believes his only child Nasrin, who fled
from Iran years ago, may now live.
Leonardo and Giovana are best of friends. Like all teenagers they yearn for more
independence from their parents, dream of going abroad and to experience love’s first kiss.
Gabriel, the new boy at school, quickly becomes friends with them both. Ultimately, three
becomes a crowd as a choice must be made; being blind, who will Leonardo give his first
kiss to?
‘The Way He Looks’ is the debut feature length film from award-winning film-maker
Daniel Ribeiro, who won the Iris Prize for the short film ‘I Don’t Want To Go Home Alone’.
Finding shelter in a city which is battered by the economic crisis, Parvis meets two other
struggling migrants: Italian Fabrizio, a failed piano player, and spoilt young German Almut, who
has followed her boyfriend to Madrid. The search for Nasrin becomes their common quest.
Following a new clue, the unlikely threesome set off northwards in Almut’s car.

In April 2013, we announced
Wed 15th / 6.30pm
in the Bodega Bar that Cork
was to have a new festival of
independent cinema. Matt
Lloyd, Director of the Glasgow
Short Film Festival, was the
first to report that he had
booked his flights to attend.
He subsequently invited
IndieCork to curate and present
two programmes of recent
Irish shorts at his festival last
January.
In turn we thought it a good
idea to request Matt Lloyd to
curate programmes of truly
independent Scottish short films
for us. Here, post-referendum,
Matt presents those films, giving
us an opportunity to explore
how Scottish concerns are
examined and represented in
short films. We are grateful to
Matt and welcome him back
to IndieCork.
17
Gate / 83 mins
I’m writing this introduction one week before
Scotland’s referendum on independence from
the United Kingdom. Like everyone I know,
I’m in a constant state of nervous tension,
frantically grasping at every blog or column,
every commentary by this Nobel Prizewinning Economist or that young newlyenfranchised campaigner. With some friends
I talk of little else, whilst with others there is
a tacit agreement to speak of anything but.
With the end of an extraordinary two years
of national debate in sight, thoughts are
turning to what might happen next, whatever
the result. Opinions have been polarized,
although mainly peacefully expressed, and it’s
hard to foresee how we will all relate to one
another after the vote, not to mention our
neighbours to the south.
In this context, it feels bizarre to be writing
an introduction to a showcase of recent
Scottish filmmaking. The films will be
screened a full month after the outcome is
known, and consequently the programme
will be open to interpretations that are quite
beyond my control as curator. Of course, any
programme of films will invoke responses
the curator cannot expect, but in this case
the programme is categorised by its national
identity, and the nature of that identity is
about to be radically redefined one way or
another based on a simple binary opposition:
on a vote that polls suggest is split so evenly
the outcome is impossible to predict.
However this polarity, announced by the
flood of banners, badges and bumper
stickers proclaiming ‘Yes’ or ‘No Thanks’ (the
latter polite or faintly passive-aggressive,
depending on your point of view), is
illustrative of a duality which can be traced
throughout Scottish cultural identity.
An overlapping series of oppositions between reason and superstition, myth and
enlightenment, tradition and modernity,
Highland and Lowland, Puritan and Catholic
- has its physical embodiment in Edinburgh’s
medieval Old Town and Georgian New
Town, and its clearest cultural expression in
Stevenson’s ‘The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll
and Mr Hyde’.
Like Jekyll and Hyde, modern Scottish
cinema has adopted formal strategies to
negotiate this duality, from the poetic social
realism of the Bill Douglas ‘Trilogy’ and
Lynne Ramsay’s ‘Ratcatcher’, to the caustic
humour and magical realism of Peter Mullan’s
‘Orphans’, or the drug-fuelled fantasy arising
from urban squalor in ‘Trainspotting’. Bill
Forsyth’s gently whimsy in ‘Local Hero’ veils
sharply satirical social comment, whilst
Jonathan Glazer’s recent ‘Under the Skin’
placed an alien (or A-list Hollywood actress,
which amounts to the same thing) in a van in
Glasgow’s back streets, and formally flipped
between grainy ‘real world’ encounters and
exquisitely composed images of an inky void.
Whilst technically not a Scottish film, this
clash of fantasy and documentary realism
captured the Scottish psyche brilliantly.
It’s arguable that by its nature, short film
cannot tackle the complexity of cultural
contradictions. And so the shorts in this
showcase have been divided into two
themed programmes: ‘Dr Jekyll’ and ‘Mr
Hyde’. The first programme is driven by social
realist concerns, from the retelling of a 1923
mining disaster in Adam Stafford’s ‘No Hope
For Men Below’, to the story of a young
barmaid’s realisation of the suffocating ties of
friendship holding her back in Rory Stewart’s
‘Wyld’. The second programme revels in a
more lurid, fantastical vision of Scotland,
from the dark heart of an aristocratic hunting
family in Henry Coombes’ ‘The Bedfords’,
to the meeting of ancient warriors and
unexpected foes in Johnny Barrington’s
‘Tumult’.

The strengths of short film allow for much
more nuanced ideas than their brevity would
suggest. Authenticity, formal experimentation,
singular vision unfettered by commercial
concerns, and above all the idea that what is
left out of a short narrative is as important as
what stays in - these features permit some
striking contradictions that bind these two
apparently distinct programmes together.
Thus Paul Fegan’s ‘Pouters’, a multi awardwinning documentary about the Glaswegian
working-class sport of doo-fleein’ is, at heart,
a love story between two neighbours, their
pigeons mere proxies. Julian Schwanitz’s
‘Kirkcaldy Man’ , a quest to find reclusive
darts champion Jocky Wilson in his home
town, attains a lyrical, epic quality that is both
tongue-in-cheek and deeply moving. The
most outlandish vision and perhaps the star
of the show, artist Rachel MacLean’s ‘The Lion
& The Unicorn’, in which the two animals
guzzle Union Jack cake and slurp from wine
glasses of North Sea oil, is one of the most
eloquent portrayals of cross-border relations
to date. Savagely satirical, and yet impossible
to peg to either side of the debate, the
impression it will leave on post-referendum
audiences is anybody’s guess.

Vivienne Dick
The Film Feast
IndieCork and Bia Sásta are delighted to produce The Film
Feast, now in its second year. The feedback and support
from the start has been exceptional. Cork’s food scene has
become so diverse that we wanted to mirror this diversity
in a special food and film event. This year’s producers
have grown from small beginnings, have the passion and
endurance of real believers and jumped on board when I
asked them to present their food for this special night.
IndieCork is delighted to
present a truly independent
filmmaker and artist at the
festival this year. Vivienne Dick
has been ground-breaking in
her treatment of film and in the
influence she has provided for
a generation of filmmakers. We
welcome Vivienne to IndieCork
to present one of her early
works and her latest film, ‘The
Irreducible Difference of the
Other’ and to engage in a public
conversation with filmmaker
Oonagh Kearney.
Vivienne Dick was born in Donegal in 1950 and studied at University College Dublin. From
1977 to 1982 she lived in New York, part of a group of filmmakers whose affiliation to the
music and aesthetic of punk became known as ‘No Wave’. Working mainly on Super 8, Dick’s
films from this period feature many musicians from the punk movement in New York, with
performances and music from Lydia Lunch, James Chance, Pat Place, Adele Bertei, and Ikue
Mori. She returned to Ireland in 1982 and moved to London in 1985, where she was a member
of The London Filmmakers Co-op for many years and produced a number of films on 16mm
and on video.
Her films have been screened at cinemas, museums and film festivals internationally, including
Tate Britain, MoMA and The Whitney in New York, IMMA and the Edinburgh and Berlin Film
Festivals. She has received a number of production awards from The British Arts Council and
The Irish Film Board. Her work is in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in Dublin,
Anthology Archives, NYC and the Irish Film Archive.
We begin the programme with a screening of She Had Her Gun All Ready (1978 / 28 mins)
and then screen Vivienne’s latest film ‘The Irreducible Difference of the Other’ (2013 / 27 mins).
Oonagh Kearney is an
Irish filmmaker based
in London. Oonagh has
written and directed several
award winning short
films across diverse visual
mediums including drama,
experimental documentary
and dance on film. Her new
dance film The Wake is in
post-production.
Following the screening, Vivienne will be in conversation with filmmaker Oonagh Kearney on
revolutionary filmmaking, politics, sex and power. This conversation will explore connections
between Vivienne’s practice in the 1970’s New York No Wave scene and the challenges and
opportunities facing younger Irish artists today. Vivienne and Oonagh will also discuss the
relationship between filmmaking and music, and what drives each of them to make films.

‘She Had Her Gun All Ready’ is set in the Lower East Side in New York in the late 1970s. It is a
psychodrama based around the struggle between two characters, played by Lydia Lunch and
Pat Place, who were both well-known musicians associated with the No Wave music scene
of the time. The film deals with the destructive aspects of desire and obsessive thralldom,
exploring the claustrophobia that comes with being locked into a duel for dominance.
‘The Irreducible Difference of the Other’ questions what it means to be human in a world
orientated towards war, terror, and consumption. Franco-Irish actress Olwen Fouéré inhabits
the two personas of Antonin Artaud and Russian poet Anna Akhmatova. Key historical
moments are referenced, including opposition to the Iraq war, the Arab Spring and recent
anti-austerity protests, proclaiming the desire for a world which is more balanced and which
focuses less on exploitation and destruction. An implicit critique of the male paradigm is
embodied by the structure of the film – a richly textured weaving of sound and images –
which posits the need for a renewal of relationship on both a personal and global level.
In this mouth-watering romantic comedy, where curries and daals are unwittingly transformed
into misplaced love-letters, the lives of two lonely people cross paths in the most unexpected
way. When Ila pours her heart into preparing a delicious lunch to please her cold and distant
husband, one of the renowned Mumbai dabbawallahs (lunchbox couriers) mistakenly delivers
it to Saajan, a near-to-retirement insurance clerk. Sajaan is a little more than surprised when
his usual mediocre meal arrives as delectable ambrosia.

this special screening and
post-screening interview.
“The sense of wonder is what I
like... most of the films really are
a kind of wonder at the world,
and being able to look at it in a
different way can bring that out.”
Born in London in 1946, Tony Hill studied architecture and sculpture and makes experimental
short films that are somewhere between sculpture and cinema. He has been working as
an independent filmmaker since 1973, usually taking on all aspects of production and often
developing and building his own equipment. He also works with installations, photography
and sound. He has presented his work at many art galleries and in film festivals worldwide. His
films have been broadcast on television in many countries and have won several awards. They
have been published in the UK and Japan. He taught film and video from 1982 until 2002 at
the University of Derby, becoming Professor of Film at Plymouth College of Art from 2004
until 2011.
His previous experience with architecture informs his work in the use of custom-made rigs,
cleverly placed mirrors and unusual lenses, which allow the camera to record freely and
smoothly around a space. All his films afford the viewer a unique and unusual perspective
through the development of this ingenius rigging and pre-digital editing techniques. While
the films avoid conventional narrative themes, they are ‘a focus of ideas’ that is structured
and progressive in nature. By doing this, Hill offers us a new perspective on the world around
us and the world of the moving image. Though he deals predominantly with documentary
images, they are presented in an augmented and often disorienting way.

Hill says of his preoccupation with perception: “I think this whole perception thing is very
interesting, because often you have enough information in your brain to be able to walk
through that door and round the corner, you can switch off the rest then. You don’t need to
think anymore... but if you can concentrate it down and look in a different way, it gives you a
fresh view.”

A Short History of the Wheel
Sally Goode has been blind from birth. Tony Hill took her to a location
unknown to her and recorded her describing what she found. By
touch and sound she learns about the place and, with imagination,
simplicity of expression and a joyful openness she articulates her
findings. The sighted must see through her hands to experience this
place. Objects, normally recognisable at a glance, become stranger
and less identifiable when described by touch and without the
vocabulary of vision.
1 minute / 1992
An exercise in visual relativity in the form of a journey through
space and time as we explore the history of the wheel. Starting with
a primitive hand-drawn cart and moving through horsepower and
machine age tractor and car to the ultimate wheeled transport, the
bicycle.
A cinematic roller-coaster ride at the hands of a performer who is
literally holding the viewer on the end of a pole. Swoop above his
head on a rooftop then fall to his feet, watch him strain to lift you
up and swing you round. Balance precariously above his head as he
hurries to get back before the magic wears off.
‘I am drawn to decaying, forgotten ruins or derelict sites that accumulate or hold within
their structure strong historical and energetic residues, a sense of accumulated time, fading
significance, enigmatic spaces of suggestion and memory; the eroded, the no longer visible:
places where one can sit and absorb a collective consciousness that continues beyond form…’
Laws of Nature
25 minutes / 1997
Downside Up
17 minutes / 1984
A film which, by the use of a simple camera movement, explores and
reviews some relationships to the ground. The viewpoint continuously
orbits places, objects, people and events. The observations gradually
speed up to reveal a double-sided ground flipping like a tossed coin
which slows again to oscillate about the earth’s edge.
An experimental film that looks afresh at landscape by using the
medium to explore its time and space in ways other than ‘eye view’.
A rich, sensual, densely textured film poem that sets out to challenge
perceptual habits without being drawn into the seductive trap of the
picturesque.
Until Oct 31st / 11.00pm – 4.00pm Daily
Firkin Crane / Free Admission
‘TerrainSkin’ is inspired by moving from the urban landscape of Dublin to the rural
expansiveness of County Cork and considers our relationship with our surrounding
environment, both natural and man-made. It reflects on the deep symbiotic relationship
between the body-mind and environment, through an immersive experience of kinesthetic
and energetic interaction. ‘TerrainSkin’ seeks to make us more aware of the movement in our
natural environment, the fragility of time, forgotten enigmatic spaces, empty containers of
energetic traces and the presence of the disappeared.

film Wonder, animation artist Mirai Mizue uploaded a one second

refrained from using a storyboard and relied solely on his intuition.

to the factory, the wax-spotted jars were superficially cleaned and

Do You Have A Minute? / Ce l’Hai Un Minuto?
Alessandro Bardani / Italy / 2013 / 9 minutes
Oreste asks Mahdi, “Have you got a minute?” before giving him
directions from the suburbs of Rome to Palestine. A long journey
unfolds, enriched with amusing anecdotes and sad memories, an
escape from loneliness that becomes a surreal and ironic meeting.
A portrait of a season, a journey through northern Russia and Siberia,
through the feelings and thoughts of the people who have to
cope with one of the world’s harshest climates; a reality where the
boundary between life and death is so thin that it is sometimes almost
non-existent.
