NGO Screening

4 September 2008

Curzon Cinema, Soho

Read all about the world record beating People's Premiere here.

The Not Stupid campaign starts here with representatives from 35 charities and NGOs working on climate change gathered to watch the film and then brainstorm about how it can best be used to further their own campaigning efforts. We were delighted to see Friends of the Earth, Greenpeace, Christian Aid, RSPB, Action Aid, Operation Noah and the Rail Workers Union all walk through the door. Surely an unstoppable force?

Normal film premieres are glitzy and exclusive, with nobody invited except VIPs - but the People's Premiere is different: VIPs, IPs and plain old Ps are all welcome to the world's first INclusive film launch. Featuring synchronised screenings at a staggering 60 different cinemas across the nation. With a solar-powered cinema tent pitched in London's Leicester Square, the People's Premiere is also the planet's first truly green film premiere - no greenwash allowed.
