In Greenland, they hire Inuit dog handler Milak. The plan is for Svendsen to travel north along the coast by ship, while Larsen, Eriksen, and Milak drive towards the far north with dog sleds. In a race against a competing American expedition, they brave snowstorms, crevasses, and polar bears as they weather one adventure after the next. But then their supplies run out ... Critics of the time called Milak, der Grönlandjäger the German answer to Robert Flaherty’s Nanook of the North (1922). Filmed largely on location in Greenland and Norway’s Spitsbergen archipelago, the film combines impressive landscape footage with ethnographic observation. With their athletic way of filming in the open air, the camera staff from Arnold Fanck’s “Freiburg camera school” used the natural world as a key player, even blowing up ice sheets to create high drama. They were helped along the way by a polar bear sourced from Hamburg’s Hagenbeck zoo. 　　WITH 　　Waldemar Coste 　　Harry Bellinghausen 　　Ruth Weyher 　　Lotte Lorring 　　Nils Focksen 　　Iris Arlan 　　Helmer Hanssen 　　Robby Robert 　　Sepp Allgeier 　　Albert Benitz 　　Richard Angst 　　CREW 　　Directors 　　Bernhard Villinger, Georg Asagaroff 　　Screenplay 　　Armin Petersen, Bernhard Villinger, based on true events during the expeditions of Scott, Mawson, Koch 　　Director of Photography 　　Sepp Allgeier, Albert Benitz, Richard Angst 　　PRODUCED BY 　　Universum Film AG (Ufa) 　　Berlin, Germany 　　Film Print: Bundesarchiv-Filmarchiv, Berlin 　　DATES 　　240095 Sat Feb 24 17:00 　　CinemaxX 8 (E) 　　Music: Günter Buchwald 　　 　　250383 Sun Feb 25 12:00 　　Zeughauskino 　　Music: Günter Buchwald 　　 　　KEY 　　GO TO: 　　MY PROGRAMME 　　BERLINALE APPS 　　Android iOS 　　TOPICS OF THE BERLINALE 　　Interviews with section heads and articles on the thematic focal points 2018 [...] 　　MY ACCOUNT 　　LOGOUT
