Age of Stupid.

"Age of Stupid", the new award winning British Documentary starring the Oscar Nominated Pete Postlethwaite opens in cinemas across the UK for one week commencing 20th March 2009.
The film will premiere in London on 15th March
This is a unique opportunity for local transition, low carbon, sustainable community groups to showcase what is happening in their area.

Why not consider organising a themed event to coincide with the screenings? Hold a quiz night, panel discussion, a ladies night, student night - whatever you can think of to make sure that all cinema goers leave the Chapter cinema knowing that there are things they can do as an individual and in their community to reduce carbon emissions and learn to live a fulfilling and rewarding low carbon life. If you would be interested in holding an event or would consider co-ordinating events during the screening weeks, please let me know. Together with Spanner films and the cinemas we are doing our best to ensure that every venue opens their doors to local community groups and uses the cinema space and building to accommodate local groups during the run of Age of Stupid. We are also looking for people who would be willing to speak at community events in all parts of the UK about their personal actions to reduce carbon emissions. at screenings of Age of Stupid, particularly London , Belfast , North East England , South East and Lancs.

Stop Climate Chaos, Women's Environment Network and People and Planet are all keen to get involved in events at all cinemas.
