If a single photo can inspire change, how influential are a million images? Over the course of the 15-year Extreme Ice Survey project, photographer James Balog and his team brought some of the world's first and most compelling visual evidence of climate change to the global stage as he depicted the rapid melting of glaciers around the world. Thoughtfully helmed by acclaimed director Jeff Orlowski-Yang (Chasing Ice, Chasing Coral, The Social Dilemma) and first-time filmmaker Sarah Keo, Chasing Time is a meditative exploration of time and mortality, following James and his crew as they bring the decades-long project to a close, cataloging more than one million images in the process. The short documentary reunites James and the Emmy-award-winning team behind Chasing Ice to capture the end of the epic undertaking and spotlight the power of an intergenerational effort to seed hope and inspire action toward a sustainable future. A beautiful tribute to the power of images and the importance of mentorship, the team examines the legacy their efforts have made on the world.

Beautifully shocking imagery makes up the bulk of this movie, acting as more horror than bittersweet sendoff for one man. On occasion, I mean. Go to Full Review Heidy Morales Hye's Musings 06/04/2024
In its short 39-minute running time, CHASING TIME... is a moving tribute to Balog’s mentorship to the entire team team. And no least important, it is a “love letter” from Orlowski-Yang to Balog with whom he has developed a close friendship over the years. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
