Filmmaker Ian Purnell's debut documentary "Arctic Link" premiered at CPH:DOX festival in Copenhagen on March 16, following a decade-long production involving footage of a ship laying fiber optic cables to connect remote Alaska to the internet. The film, which treats submarine cable infrastructure as a visual and emotional protagonist, explores what digital connectivity means for Alaskan islanders and the Filipino crew members aboard the aging vessel.
