About the Films
The Story of Plastic - Learn how the mass production of single-use plastic has put us in the biggest environmental crisis in history.
Rivercide - In 60 action-packed minutes, the world’s first live investigative documentary will attempt to find out who is polluting our rivers and why we’re not stopping them. Presented by environmental journalist George Monbiot and directed by Age of Stupid’s Franny Armstrong, with live music from Charlotte Church.
The Wash: Britain’s Secret Wilderness - The film showcases the beauty and significance of The Wash, a dynamic estuary that evolves through the seasons, while exploring the delicate balance between conservation and human activity. Directed and produced by Chris Weston, a wildlife photographer with more than 20 years of experience, the film is described as a ‘homecoming’ project as Weston grew up in Frampton. Complements our ground floor Gallery exhibition about The Wash more info here
The Age of Stupid - It’s the year 2055 and the world has been ravaged by climate change. London is underwater, Sydney is on fire and nuclear war has turned India into a wasteland. An archivist looks back at old footage from the year 2008 to understand why humankind failed to address climate change. From the director of McLibel and starring Pete Postlethwaite, this bold, provocative film warns of the dire consequences of our failure to stop climate change.
