Age of Stupid Showing
Wednesday 11 Nov 2009
Student Switch Off will be screening the Age of Stupid, a world record breaking film, this Thursday the 12th November.
The Age of Stupid stars 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? The film broke the Guinness World Record for the biggest ever simultaneous premiere.
The Trailer & Facebook Event are available online.
To see the film come to The SAF Building, Room G16, South Kensington Campus at 6pm on Thursday 12 November.

The film has been an international sensation this year. Just look at these reviews:

"I thought the Age of Stupid was an incredibly powerful account of the effects of climate change, the urgency, of climate change and the reasons we must act as quickly as possible."
Ed Miliband, UK Secretary of State for Energy and Climate
"The film is a scorching appeal for humans to avoid knowingly up-ending the earth’s climate"
