The slow food of cinema, Chasms of Silence chronicles a quiet walk across the arctic circle on Canada's Baffin Island. Made specifically in stereo 3D for a sense of presence in place, the film takes us into the space and silence of this elemental landscape. Woven into the land are the voices of Jennifer Berezan and Tanya Tagaq Gillis, and the words it has inspired in poet and novelist Anne Michaels, as she contemplates life, death, time, and eternity.
