CLIMATE STORIES - United Kingdom

Climate Stories is a touring programme of short films exploring the climate crisis, introducing by the British Council and the Doc Society. The five films which are presented in the festival are around the world :

EVE by Joya Berrow, Lucy Jane (the UK)

Blackthorn by Dom Bush (the UK)

The Promise by Chi Thai (the UK)

The Fourfold by Alisi Telengut (Canada)

To Calm the Pig Inside by Joanna Vasquez Arong (the Philippines)

To address the climate emergency, we aren’t looking for the silver bullet story that will work for everyone, rather we believe we need a multitude of stories “as diverse as the ecosystems we seek to save”. You will see that those stories are from, by and about different communities, stories that forge deep connections with those who have historically been ignored and marginalized by the climate conversation and also stories that can help see new norms and beliefs and germinate visions of a more climate just and safe future. We do hope that you enjoy the films and this event will move us closer to a more climate just and biodiverse future.
