Chris Watson and Emma Goude, producers of The Transition Movie, out filming in Totnes.

If you haven’t already seen it, the film the Age of Stupid will be showing again in Bedford on the 28th of May, see below for details. A second film “In Transition” will be premiered on the 23rd of May. The first showing of the film will be held at the Transition Towns annual conference but in true eco-fasion, you wont have to get into your gas guzzler or even on your push bike to see it. In fact the TT annual conference sold out months ago. However the film will also be streamed live. Tune in here at 1.45pm on the 23rd of May for you free, low carbon viewing.

See the In Transition film, there may even be a mention of ZCC projects. Get a projector or huddle around the computer screen, Invite your neighbours around and get the most fun out of your energy input. This film will hopefully be the perfect antidote to the Age of Stupid, which although, highly acclaimed (see Age of Stupid media coverage below), is an unrelentingly negative part dramatised part real documentary portrail of our destruction of our planet. While the film In Transition is a the tales of hundreds people’s  actual responses to climate change, peak oil, resource depletion, ecosystem breakdown and overall systemic vulnerability. Find out much more about the film here and watch a clip. These tales will hopefully inspire a glimpse into how the world may look if we make the transition to a sustainable, resilient and vibrant community. Motivation has to come from the fear or the negative planetary distruction and the absolute passion and love for the potentially amazing future that we, our children and our childrens children have in front of us. Tune in and get motivated.
