Join us for the world premiere of a home-grown disaster movie packed with rising talent 

In Arctic Blast, a solar eclipse sends a blast of super-chilled air towards the Earth, setting off a catastrophic chain of events that threatens a new Ice Age. As coastal Australia undergoes mass evacuation, physicist Jack Tate (Stargate SG-1’s Michael Shanks) races to find a solution while protecting his family.

The Australian-Canadian co-production was shot in Tasmania with post-production done in Montreal, including effects by Modus (300, Sin City). Genre master and Ozploitation legend Brian Trenchard-Smith’s first Australian film in over a decade, it’s a fun disaster flick which harks back to the glory days of the classic B-movie.
