Winning a prestigious Grierson award on Saturday night takes our competition record so far to a perfect three out of three. We won the Green award which is for a film that "explores environmental issues or has made a contribution to the climate change debate."

We also won two awards at the Sunny Side film market, both for 'Best Green Doc' and 'Film Most Likely to be a Cinema Hit'.

Great quote from the Grierson jury too: "The out and out winner this year was chosen for the sheer scale of its ambition and the verve of its realization.  On every level, THE AGE OF STUPID is a powerful and unforgettable film that leaves you honour bound to force governments to take action and that the judges recommend everybody must see."
