Green issues on big screen
ENVIRONMENTALISTS and film-lovers will join forces at York’s City Screen cinema next weekend.
Climate change film The Age Of Stupid is being shown at the Coney Street picture house.
It stars Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in a devastated future world, ruing society’s failure to tackle climate change when it could. After the screening on Sunday afternoon, environmental campaigner Daniel Vockins will deliver a speech about the film and climate change.
Dave Taylor, marketing manager for City Screen, said: “We wanted to make this a vital event.” Edward Harland, for local environmental group York In Transition, said: “We recommend The Age Of Stupid wholeheartedly, but as well as understanding the problem we must also find solutions to it at a local level.”
