Message of The Age of Stupid
• IT was great to see so many people at the opening of this year’s must-see climate change film The Age of Stupid at the Finchley Road VUE on Sunday night.
As I understand it we made it into the Guinness Book Records as part of the biggest live film premiere ever. We were one of dozens of people’s premieres going on all over the country.
All of them were plugged in live to the main event in Leicester Square where the film’s leading man Pete Postlethwaite (left) made the climate change secretary, Ed Miliband, squirm.
The Age of Stupid stars Oscar nominee Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated future world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: “Why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?”
It’s on again at the Finchley Road VUE on Sunday March 22 at 6pm.
It’s also on for an entire week at the Tricycle Theatre in Kilburn starting tomorrow (Friday), then at the Belsize Park Everyman at 2pm on March 29, 31 and April 2.
There will be a special Transition Belsize event at the March 29 screening at the Everyman so I hope to see as many of you as possible there.
The director, Franny Armstrong, is from Camden. I think we should be really proud that such an important film has emerged from our community.
Now we have to take the film’s message – that we need action now – to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen in December because that’s probably our last chance to get an international agreement to reduce emissions before it’s too late.
