Age of Stupid premiere

Age of Stupid premiere

The movie,Age of Stupid, opens in Dunedin next week.

The premiere is at Hoyts - 6.30pm on Thursday 20th August. The NZ release of this film could hardly be more timely with the lead-up to the Copenhagen climate change negotiations and our Government's embarrassing position in offering 10-20% emission reductions but asking other countries to  find ways of acheiving 30-40%.

Age of Stupid is the UK documentary-drama about climate change effects, starring Pete Postlethwaite as a researcher in 2055 who looks back on situations and scenarios and considers how the worst effects could have been averted had we not been so stupid. It has taken four years to produce (one of the producers is Lizzie Gillett - ex Dunedin and Greens list candidate in 2008) and has been made on a low-emission budget throughout.

The film's Australasian premiere is next Wednesday (with a green carpet, celebs and solar powered marquee) and it opens in Dunedin the following day and runs for a week - with screenings at 6.30 and 8.30pm. Councillor Dave Cull will speak before the first screening and Lizzie Gillett will do a Question and answer session at screenings on Friday and Saturday.  We are planning a lot of publicity for the cause around this event, with volunteers at Hoyts to give people information on personal and collective actions they can take. Groups involved include 350.com, SignOn, Sustainable Dunedin and several others.
