Green Screen presents '#ClimateScam?' with short films Climate Anxiety and Plan Z: From lab coats to handcuffs.
This screening is followed by a live panel curated by all three filmmakers. Come and join the conversation.
All the films address the impact the climate crisis is having on our young people with refreshing, diverse and solutions-based perspectives as well as well as the stark situation faced by scientists who, unheard by government, are now taking to the streets.
#ClimateScam? (40m) - With increasingly devastating climate disasters all over the news, why do so many people believe that the climate crisis is a hoax? Join Jaz, a social media savvy member of the TikTok generation, as she explores a web of misinformation that could threaten efforts to tackle the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced. A Cornwall Climate Care Film.
Climate Anxiety (17m) - As the climate crisis unfolds, young people fear for their future. In this short film young people, parents and professionals discuss their experiences of climate anxiety and how they deal with it. A Cambridge Moviemakers film directed by John Yates.
Plan Z: From lab coats to handcuffs (23m) - When the UK government ignores mounting evidence for climate breakdown, a group of scientists turn to civil disobedience to warn the public themselves, risking arrest, a criminal record and their professional reputations. A window into the world of reluctant activism, Plan Z explores the power of protest when established routes of influence fail.
Green Screen is a community-led space to discuss environmentally-focused cinema, with expert panels and friendly post-screening discussions.
