Full Plot Details

Dawson City: Frozen Time, pieces together the bizarre true history of a collection of some 500 films dating from 1910s - 1920s, which were lost for over 50 years until being discovered buried in a sub-arctic swimming pool deep in the Yukon Territory, in Dawson City, located about 350 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Using these permafrost protected, rare silent films and newsreels, archival footage, interviews and historical photographs to tell the story, and accompanied by an enigmatic score by Sigur Rós collaborator and composer Alex Somers (Captain Fantastic), Dawson City: Frozen Time depicts a unique history of a Canadian gold rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation - and through that collection, how a First Nation hunting camp was transformed and displaced.

Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 10/10 by Richard BrodyThe film locates extraordinary political and cultural tributaries, marked by archival footage, that arise from the history of Dawson City and the gold rush.
Film-Forward.com - 10/10 by Nora Lee MandelBeautifully interweaves three marvelous stories, and is a must for cinephiles, history buffs, and anyone who just loves a fascinating tale told entertainingly. ..Enchanting..
The Public (Buffalo) - 10/10 by M. FaustMorrison goes on to concoct a fascinatingly alternate history of the early 20th century, far too complex to recount here. It's all made even more compelling for being presented with no voice-overs, only a mesmerizing score from Alex Somers of Sigur Ros
Los Angeles Times - 10/10 by Kenneth TuranThe thrilling documentary Dawson City: Frozen Time is indescribable not because it's ambiguous (it's totally straightforward) but because it does so many things so beautifully it is hard to know where to begin.
The Film Stage - 9/10 by Jose Solís MayénIt might just be the ultimate found footage film.
Film Comment Magazine - 9/10 by Nicolas RapoldWhile the film's purview may suggest a PBS documentary, the density of Morrison's detail and the twists in his long-game storytelling make for a constant titillating simmer of discovery, a secret history round every corner.
Pittsburgh City Paper - 9/10 by Al HoffDawson City: Frozen Time may be one of the more remarkable and transfixing films I've seen in a while.
Anchorage Press - 9/10 by Indra ArriagaThere is something that inspires curiosity in seeing art forms in a state of emergence and decay, Dawson City: Frozen Time provides a glimpse into the past, the art of decay, and the hope of restoration.
KPBS.org - 9/10 by Beth AccomandoThe experience is so rooted in sound and image that words fail to capture its unique allure.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerThe rise and fall of Dawson City, intimately tied to the vagaries of climate and man’s greed, is heartbreakingly rendered.
