EcoCinema 2009

The EcoCinema Festival will open with Franny Armstron's The Age of Stupid, which tells the story of a man living in a post-apocalyptic world; while managing an archive documenting mankind's achievements, he tries to comprehend what went wrong. The filmmakers in this program seek, through the cinematic medium, to help prevent ecological disaster and an uncertain future. The organizers of the Festival, as the filmmakers, would like for the celebration of life to continue for many years to come, for our own sake and for that of future generations.
