Polaris is a 2022 Canadian action film directed by Kirsten Carthew.[1] The film stars Viva Lee as Sumi, a young girl in a frozen, post-apocalyptic 2144. With the aid of a strange companion, she survives blood-thirsty marauders to prevail.

The film is thematically related to, but not a direct expansion of, Carthew's 2015 short film Fish Out of Water.[2]
