Melt

Dir. Nikolaus Geyrhalter | 2025 | 127 mins | German with English Subtitles

Nikolaus Geyrhalter journeys through frozen landscapes, from Alpine glaciers to Antarctica, capturing lives shaped by snow and ice as they face rapid disappearance. Across Japan, France, Canada and beyond, people adapt to a changing white world through tourism, science, and survival. Through Geyrhalter’s characteristically expansive and tranquil compositions, the film observes both breathtaking beauty and alarming loss.

As snow is manufactured, seasons shift, and ancient ice retreats, MELT documents both the majesty of these environments and the quiet violence of climate change; a record of a planet that may soon survive only in film.

Shown as part of the UK Green Film Festival, find out more about them here.
