Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities Frozen Atlantis

Frozen Atlantis is a cinematic essay presented as part of the Utopia Now! Conference at the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities. It brings together film, scholarship and visual storytelling to explore how ideas of myth, landscape and cultural memory are shaped and re-shaped through research communication.

The film follows a trail from seventeenth-century Sweden to a later scholarly journey north, drawing on antiquities, maps and panoramas, and reflecting on how narratives of place are constructed. It is a thoughtful, interdisciplinary event for audiences interested in the humanities, literature, history and the moving image, and it foregrounds the relationship between evidence, imagination and the stories people build around the world they inhabit.
