Age of Stupid

I received an email promoting a film on climate change. Not sure if any of you would be interested in this, but I will put it out there just in case.

The Age of Stupid is a 90-minute climate blockbuster set in the future with Ocsar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite staring as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking back at "archive" footage from 2007 and asking, "Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?"

For the global premiere, scheduled for September 21st, "The Age of Stupid" will help launch the UN's Climate Week and will be an epic live event from a solar-powered cinema in New York City, complete with green carpet and celebs arriving via bike, boat, biodiesel car and more. We will be beaming the movie out through satellite links to over 440 theaters in the US and 700+ cinemas in 55+ countries. As well as performances by Tom Yorke, there will be live climate impact updates from Kofi Annan, climate scientists from the Arctic, Amazon rainforest, a Himalayan glacier and New Orleans. Afterward, there will be a panel including Kofi Annan, Gillian Anderson, Mary Robinson, director Franny Armstrong, and star Pete Postlethwaite to discuss the film and the tasks ahead. Copenhagen delegates are all being given complimentary invites. Surely, this is one of the most important and exceptional events in the lead-up to Copenhagen.

The film will be screened in Santa Barbara at the Arlington Theather on September 21 at 8:00pm.
