'AGE OF STUPID' Exclusive Film Screening at Sunrise

AGE OF STUPID SCREENING AT SUNRISE!

We are proud to announce that we have been granted the right to show the critically-acclaimed movie, Age of Stupid, on the Green Innovations Outdoor Cinema on Friday night. This is a very exciting opportunity to see this powerful, thought-provoking film that has drawn positive reports from media as diverse as The Sun and The Guardian, and personalities including Ken Livingstone.







'The Age Of Stupid is the documentary-drama-animation hybrid from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and Oscar-winning Producer John Battsek (One Day In September, Live Forever, In the Shadow of the Moon).



Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite (In The Name of the Father, Brassed Off, The Usual Suspects) stars as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055. He watches 'archive' footage from 2008 and asks: Why didn't we stop climate change when we had the chance?



Runaway climate change has ravaged the planet by 2055. Pete plays the founder of The Global Archive, a storage facility located in the (now melted) Arctic, preserving all of humanity's achievements in the hope that the planet might one day be habitable again. Or that intelligent life may arrive and make use of all that weve achieved. He pulls together clips of archive news and documentary from 1950-2008 to build a message showing what went wrong and why. The film focuses on 6 human stories that together document the devastating changes that took place, and how they so easily could have been avoided had humanity chosen to. The Age of Stupid is a thought provoking and powerful film that reminds us all of the cusp that we now sit upon, between the ages and with choices lying before us that will set the scene for our children for generations to come. See The Age of Stupid at the Green Innovations Cinema on Friday night!
