Stupid to screen at the RSA on Friday May 22
Franny Armstrong, George Monbiot and Dr Richard Betts to debate issues arising from Armstrong's film

On May 22 Franny Armstrong's groundbreaking film The Age of Stupid starring Pete Postlethwaite goes on general release. Here at the RSA we're holding a special screening of the movie, followed by a discussion by the director, George Monbiot and Dr Richard Betts, leader of the Climate Impacts research team at the Met Office.

This discussion will be broadcast live via the web to other screenings nationwide. The evening will also feature a special video broadcast from Dr. Mohammed Waheed Hassan, Vice-President of the Maldives, on “Climate and Change and the Art of the Possible”. The Maldives is the first country to commit to going carbon neutral in ten years.

This event is free but you must book a ticket to attend. Seats are limited, so if you want to come you need to book early.

Book a ticket online now.

The event starts at 7.30 prompt, so you must be here at the RSA and ready to take your seat by 7.15.

This RSA Screens event also marks the launch of a pioneering film distribution model, “Indie Screenings”, which allows anyone to buy a license to screen selected independent films whenever and wherever they like - and, crucially, to charge for tickets and keep the profits. The new software, which was developed by Torchbox, calculates a bespoke license fee, depending on various factors including who/where/when the user intends to screen. For example, a local campaign group will pay about £60 to screen in their church hall, whereas a multinational oil company screening to 5,000 staff would pay around £10,000.
