The Brazilian psychological thriller ‘Antártida’, directed by Bruno Safadi, follows a researcher named Inês, played by Marina Ruy Barbosa, who arrives at a scientific station in Antarctica and experiences sexual violence during her first night. The narrative functions as a ‘whodunit’, focusing on an investigation led by Commander Elisabeth, played by Andrea Beltrão, as the isolation of the station heightens themes of paranoia, power dynamics, and distrust among the personnel.

To recreate the Antarctic environment, the production utilized advanced virtual production technology, including Unreal Engine, LED screens, and artificial intelligence. While the setting is Antarctica, the project was filmed in a studio in Rio de Janeiro with additional footage captured in Patagonia. Following a screening at the 54th Gramado Film Festival, the film is set to premiere in Brazilian cinemas.
