COP26: Anote's Ark at Oban Phoenix Cinema
COP26: Anote's Ark
WED 27 OCT
Coming Soon to
Oban Phoenix Cinema
Each screening is held in Screen 2 in the Oban Phoenix Cinema, and starts 6.30pm, followed by an approx. 30min group discussion about the film, in which the audience will take part. The discussion is supported by Dr Leslie Mabon (The Open University), an environmental social scientist who is an expert in the topic of climate change in the coastal community and climate justice context.
What if your country was swallowed by the sea? A portrait of paradise on the brink.
As rising sea levels threaten the low-lying Pacific nation of Kiribati, its president, Anote Tong, seeks to wake up policy makers across the globe to the reality of climate change and to help his homeland from being washed off the face of the earth.
For many of his people, such as mother-of-six Sermary, climate change is already an inescapable reality, with typhoons and saltwater repeatedly destroying homes and livelihoods. While Mr Tong seeks global solutions – some of which advocate building floating islands or underwater cities – Sermary considers abandoning her endangered homeland for a new life thousands of kilometers away in New Zealand, and becoming one of Kiribati’s many climate refugees.
This screening and discussion is held as part of What the COP?, a film initiative of Take One Action Film Festivals. Supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and National Lottery funding from the BFI.
