The Age of Stupid - screening in Dubai


On Saturday, 5th June DUCTAC will screen The Age of Stupid.

The Age of Stupid is a 2008 film by directed by Franny Armstrong (McLibel, Drowned Out) and stars Oscar-nominated 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 production was notable for its innovative way crowd-funding financing model, as well as the Indie Screenings distribution system which allows anyone anywhere to screen the film. The film was released in 2009 and became one of the most talked-about films of the year. It also spawned the hugely-successful 10:10 campaign.
