'MELT: The Memory of Ice': A Haunting Arctic Elegy
Betsey Biggs' documentary captures the Greenland Ice Sheet's fragile beauty.
Film director Betsey Biggs spent a summer in Greenland with her mother and five-year-old daughter, exploring the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Through her personal experience, we see and hear the melting of Arctic glaciers in real time.
The documentary premiered at the Denver Experimental Media Festival in 2024 and was shown at the SF Green Festival in 2025.
MELT: The Memory of Ice is “a visually mesmerizing cinematic song cycle,”
Betsey Biggs holds a degree in Music Composition from Princeton University and works as an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder.
High above the Arctic whiteness, we are impressed by the “ice castles”, part of the glacier that first covered Greenland more than two million years ago.
