Film: The Age of Stupid - Cairns

The Age Of Stupid is the new cinema documentary from the Director of McLibel and the Producer of the Oscar-winning One Day In September.

The Age of Stupid is the new movie from Director Franny Armstrong (McLibel) and producer John Battsek (One Day In September).

This enormously ambitious drama-documentary-animation hybrid stars Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in the devastated world of 2055, watching "archive" footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance? The take home message is, of course, that this is 2009, and we can stop climate change if we just stop being stupid. View trailer >>

The Grierson Awards Jury: "The out and out winner this year was chosen for the sheer scale of its ambition and the verve of its realization. On every level, The Age of Stupid is a powerful and unforgettable film that leaves you honour bound to force governments to take action and that the judges recommend everybody must see."
