Endurance

The directors of Free Solo and NYAD use one extraordinary expedition to explore our ongoing fascination with human endurance and physical achievement. In 1915, the ship Endurance sank near Antarctica. Explorer Ernest Shackleton and his crew miraculously survived. In 2022, the ship was discovered, some 3000m beneath the water’s surface. Documenting contemporary polar explorers and drawing on original expedition footage preserved and restored by the BFI National Archive, Endurance is an inspiring celebration of scientific curiosity and the indefatigable human spirit of discovery. Screening as part of BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
