Ice Edge

Ice Edge is a short documentary about a group of surfers trying to make surfboards out of ice. It follows the process from freezing the boards, shaping them and taking them out into the sea. There is a lot of trying and failing. Will it work at all? The boards are slippery, and they melt very fast. Everything needs to work simultaneously: The surfers must be ready. The boards cannot crack. The perfect wave must come. Ice Edge is a film where nature and people play together.

My take

A quirky experimental documentary that captures the absurd beauty of failure. Watch a crew of surfers chase an impossible dream—riding waves on melting ice—with infectious optimism and comedic chaos. Perfect for anyone who loves ingenuity, humor, and the kind of creative problem-solving that doesn't care about the odds.
