Scott Cohen : 2014
Peter and Chloe, a young married couple, jump at the chance to satisfy their wanderlust by taking a belated honeymoon aboard a research vessel bound for Antarctica. Once on board, Peter, a writer, occupies his time documenting the work of whale biologist Roger Payne, leaving little time for Chloe. Feeling increasingly neglected by her husband, Chloe begins to drift closer to the enigmatic Captain Emerson. As Peter dives deeper into his work and Chloe's sense of abandonment increases, an act of betrayal ultimately divides the young lovers, driving Chloe to separate herself from Peter, both physically and emotionally. Isolated on the ship and separated from humanity by the vast, rugged expanse of Antarctica, Peter and Chloe must plumb the depths of their love to discover what each so desperately needs to move forward. A fascinating examination of proximity, seclusion, and the ambivalence of love, the film explores the dual themes of isolation and intimacy via the fragile relationship of a pair of newlyweds. Scott Cohen's directorial debut was winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the FIPRESCI Award when it premiered at Seattle International Film Festival 2014. His film had its European premiere at Titanic International Film Festival Budapest 2015.
