Oscar Hsu

Tiff 2012: ‘Frost’ is a ten-minute sci-fi epic
Frost

Directed by Jeremy Ball

Written by Jeremy Ball

Canada, 2012

“All things leave a mark on this world. Sometimes the marks are small… the difference between people and animals is that people choose the marks they leave behind. Animals just can’t seem to help themselves”.

In a film with sparse dialogue, this line is mentioned two times, each in a different context, and each with a different meaning. It isn’t redundant or ham-fisted storytelling; it’s purposely repetitive for poetic effect. It shows the universal nature of this aphorism, as well as its unfortunate legacy and longevity. It shows the wisdom of those who composed it, and the arrogance of those who choose to ignore it. But, moreover, it shows the surprising depth behind Frost, Jeremy Ball’s ten-minute sci-fi epic.

In the vast, boreal desert of some unknown tundra lives Naya (Emily Piggford), a young arctic hunter intent on demonstrating her prowess.
