The Age of Stupid is a new film on climate change, starring Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?
This will be an Indie Screening of the film in our house, so due to limited space please register to reserve a place - first come first served.
There will be a £3 donation on the door to cover costs of the film licence. Evenings starts from 7.10pm, with film starting at 7.30pm on Thursday 30th July 2009.
“We could have saved ourselves, but we didn’t. It’s amazing. What state of mind were we in, to face extinction and simply shrug it off?... We wouldn’t be the first life form to make itself extinct. But what would be unique about us is that we did it knowingly. What does that say about us?”
Further details and a review of the film here.
“Enough attitude to power a large city... Slaps you round the face, then punches you in the stomach.” The Sun
“A Deeply Inconvenient Kick Up the Backside ... you won't see a more important film this year”
The News of the World
“Bold, supremely provocative and hugely important....
a cry from the heart as much as a roar for necessary change.”
The Telegraph
“Fantastic. Knocks spots off An Inconvenient Truth”
The Ecologist magazine
"The first successful dramatisation of climate change to reach the big screen."
The Guardian
“Anything but a good-guys-versus-bad-guys polemic.
It is angry but nuanced, despairing but strangely motivating.”
New Statesman
