BFI’s remarkable restoration of Herbert Ponting’s 1924 film The Great White Silence was awarded the Best Archive Restoration at the Focal International Awards 2011. Filmed from 1910 to 1913, this classic silent film is an extraordinary record of Captain Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole.

The Great White Silence is remarkable for many reasons, not least its very existence: for the inclusion of an official cameraman in the polar team was itself visionary for the time. From the journey south, the scientific work, life in the camp, the local wildlife, to the preparations for the trek to the Pole, Herbert Ponting filmed almost every aspect of the expedition with great skill, vision and humour.
