Eco Film Fest: Age Of Consequences

The South African Eco Film Festival returns to The Bioscope in 2017.

The film festival’s mission is simply to raise awareness, through the amazing medium of documentary film, of the many pressing environmental issues the planet is facing, and the solutions people are taking to solve them. We hope you will be informed, inspired, challenged, uplifted and entertained by this year’s Festival offerings.

The South African Eco Film Festival is a project of While You Were Sleeping, a non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing documentary films that both entertain and inform with important environmental, social and political messages to South African audiences.

AGE OF CONSEQUENCES (80 mins, USA, 2016)

The Hurt Locker' meets 'An Inconvenient Truth', THE AGE OF CONSEQUENCES investigates the impacts of irreversible climate change, resource scarcity, mass migration, and pandemic conflict through the lens of US national security and global instability. Theses impacts act as 'accelerants of instability' and 'catalysts for conflict' in volatile regions of the world. The film's unnerving assessment is by no means reason for fatalism - but instead a call to action to rethink how we use and produce energy.
