Fascinated by stories of cultural conflict and man’s relationship with nature, Magidson has shot over 40 films in often challenging locales around the globe, from the Mongolian desert to the Australian outback. Armed only with three cameras and newly learned traditional survival skills, he spent a month alone in 2015 filming on the sea-ice of Greenland. His 2012 coming-of-age drama, Inuk, garnered 28 international film festival awards and was released in over 30 countries before becoming Greenland’s official selection for the 85th Academy Awards. His film “Call of the Ice“ was screened in competition at MAFF 2016.
