Climate Action is Not Stupid

Pat | 21.04.2009 15:36 | Climate Chaos | Culture | Ecology

Friday 24th April sees a busy day for anyone concerned about climate change and environmental issues in Nottingham.

The long awaited film, The Age of Stupid, opens at Broadway with the all day 'Nottingham Not Stupid Festival', whilst the Coal Caravan gathers at Sumac, West Bridgford launches their Green Streets Initiative, and all comes together for a Critical Mass Bike Ride.



---------------------
--- Age of Stupid ---
---------------------

The Age of Stupid finally arrives in Nottingham on 24th April, showing at Broadway Cinema for 7 days.

The Age of Stupid aims to encourage 250 million viewers to become campaigners before COP15, the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December. In this independently produced and 'crowd funded' film Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars 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?

The film's Producer, Lizzie Gillett will attend a 'Nottingham Not Stupid' Festival at Broadway, with a gathering of 20 climate campaigning groups, media opportunies, film screenings, Q&A's and an open discussion.

Nottingham Not Stupid Festival Program:

12noon-5pm: Not Stupid Exhibition at Broadway Mezzanine - Free

6pm and 8.15 screenings of Age of Stupid to be introduced by Lizzie Gillett, the film's producer.

8pm (after 1st screening): Lizzie will lead a discussion on the issues raised by the film, in the Studio adjacent to Screen 3. SPACE IS LIMITED - Screen 3 holds 100, but the discussion space only holds 40.
To reserve a space please email  NotStupid@veggies.org.uk

The fabulous Coal Caravan will be walking and cycling between the sites of proposed open cast mines and new power stations in the Midlands, Yorkshire and North East, talking to local people, organising bicycled power films and events, holding public discussions and displays, and linking groups from different areas to help strengthen isolated campaigns.
