Copenhagen UN Climate Summit

December 2010
Team Stupid were concentrating on producing their daily web TV show, The Stupid Show, from Copenhagen, but there were also least six Stupid screenings around the city, including inside the conference centre itself. Lizzie and Franny spoke after the City Hall screening and got chatting to a member of the audience... who just so happened to be Yann Arthus-Bertrand and convinced his organisation to run 10:10 France.

The Global Premiere - New York

21 September 2009
We ratcheted up one final notch for Stupid's Global Premiere on September 21st 2009, which was the biggest live film event ever held: top celebs walked the green carpet at our renewably-powered cinema tent in New York after arriving by sailing boat, bicycle, rickshaw, electric car and skates; Kofi Annan, Dr Pachauri and Ed Miliband spoke; Greenpeace linked in live from the Himalayas and Indonesia; Moby and Thom Yorke from Radiohead played live and the whole lot was linked by satellite to more than 700 cinemas and other venues in 63 countries, with a total audience of more than a million people.

Australia & New Zealand Premiere

19 August 2009
we headed downunder (yes, two of us flew there - see here for reasoning) for the joint Australia and NZ premiere on August 19th 2009. A solar-powered tent in downtown Auckland was linked by satellite to Cate Blanchett's Sydney Theatre, with a live link-up to a Greenpeace ship in the Arctic and celebs aplenty on the green carpets - with the whole lot beaming live into cinemas across the land.

UK People's Premiere

15 March 2009
Stupid was launched in the UK on 15th March 2009 at the People's Premiere. The green-carpet, solar-powered, celeb-tastic event broke the Guinness World Record for biggest simultaneous film screening (the cinema tent in Leicester Square beamed live by satellite to 61 cinemas round the country), whilst producing just 1% of the emissions of a normal premiere. Highlights included Gillian Anderson, Ken Livingstone, Will Young and loads of celebs on the green carpet, President Nasheed announcing that the Maldives will go carbon neutral in ten years and Pete Postlethwaite ambushing Climate Minister Ed Miliband with a giant pledge (resulting in, a month later, Ed changing the UK coal policy). And Stupid was Number 1 at the Box Office (by screen average) for a week too.

DECC x 2

24 Feb 2009

800 DECC staff given two hours off work to go down to the Curzon in Soho and watch the film.

Lizzie grilled by successively more scary policy wonks with job titles like 'head of nuclear policy team" or "research analyst for middle eastern oil department. DECC staff generally reinspired. ED worried about a Stupid ambush.
