Pat | 13.05.2009 00:31 | Climate Chaos | Ecology | Energy Crisis
Following the Nottingham premiere of The Age of Stupid, and the Nottingham Not Stupid Festival at Broadway in April, the first Indie Screening of 'The Age of Stupid' in Nottingham is announced.
This film is not about 'the climate', it is about oil, war, politics, consumerism and human stupidity. It is about the future of life on earth.

On Friday 22nd April at 7.30 Nottingham's Sumac Centre joins with dozens of other independent venues across the UK in an groundbreaking new model of film distribution - the Indie Screenings - licensed directly between the film's producers and local venues.
The Indie Screenings launch, including that at the Sumac Centre, will be simultaneously linked to an exclusive live webcast, hosted by director Franny Armstrong, with George Monbiot, Dr. Mohammed Waheed Hassan - the Vice President of The Maldives, and the MET office!
If you have not seen The Age of Stupid this event could change your life!
If you have seen The Age of Stupid you know how important it is to bring your friends.
Filmed on location in America, UK, India, Nigeria, Iraq, Jordan and The Alps, The Age of Stupid covers diverse topics including the effects of the war for oil as two Iraqi refugee kids try to find their brother, the ongoing devastation caused by Shell in Nigeria, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and the conflicting interests of those proposing sustainable energy production and NIMBY opposition in the UK, as well as well-meaning but misguided 'development' in India and the resulting loss of glaciers in the Alps.
Space is limited at the Sumac Centre so if you hope to attend on Friday 22nd May, please email
notstupid@veggies.org.uk . If there is sufficient interest further screenings may follow.
