The Age of Stupid
“Bold, supremely provocative and hugely important… a cry from the heart as much as a roar for necessary change” – THE TELEGRAPH (UK)
“Think ‘An Inconvenient Truth’ but with a personality” – LA TIMES
The Age of Stupid, from director Franny Armstrong (McLibel), and Kiwi Producer Lizzie Gillett, stars Pete Postlethwaite as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking back at news footage and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?
It’s a must see.
Following the extraordinary success of the UK People’s Premiere, The Age of Stupid will be launched simultaneously in Australia and New Zealand at the biggest – and greenest – live film event the two countries have ever seen.
On Weds 19th August, celebrities will arrive at both the Sydney Theatre and at a specially-constructed solar powered tent in downtown Auckland. The Auckland event is being hosted by Oxfam and Greenpeace. The celebrities, who’ll include Sign On ambassadors Lucy Lawless and Keisha Castle-Hughes, will brave the cameras on the green carpet before being welcomed by MC Oliver Driver.
Following the screening of the film, there’ll be a live link up with the Sydney event, before a Q and A with producer Lizzie Gillett, chaired by broadcaster Noelle McCarthy.
Meanwhile, across town, the film will open in all Hoyts cinemas. So there’s no excuse for missing it! See below for screening times.

Fantastic film! A real eye-opener. All Greenpeace members must see it. If we don’t do something soon there will be no human life left on this planet.
An invite needs to go to all supporters TODAY!
Call to Action: ‘Climate Justice Action’ network to storm Copenhagen climate summit
Pushing for Climate Justice – a Call to Action
From the 7th to 18th of December 2009, the largest ‘climate summit’ ever to be held will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark. This summit has been billed as our ‘last, best hope’ to do something about climate change. But the UN talks will not solve the climate crisis. We are no closer to reducing greenhouse gas emissions than we were when negotiations began fifteen years ago: emissions continue to rise at ever faster rates, while carbon trading allows climate criminals to pollute and profit. It is time to say enough! No more business as usual, no more false solutions!
