Transition Bedford » Think Tank http://transitionbedford.org Building community ~ Restoring balance & harmony ~ Part of the Transition Town Network Wed, 11 Aug 2010 10:30:17 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Film Noir Eco style! http://transitionbedford.org/2010/01/01/film-noir-eco-style/ http://transitionbedford.org/2010/01/01/film-noir-eco-style/#comments Fri, 01 Jan 2010 15:44:13 +0000 peterbull http://transitionbedford.org/?p=398 There is a growing wealth of great long and short films which cover a range of peak oil and climate change issues. Two recent cinema released films which maybe worth viewing by Transition Bedford members are “There will be Blood” an oil evolution film by Paul Thomas Anderson which has recently been described as the film of the noughties by the Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw and “a tragic parable of man’s dysfunctional dependence upon oil: the once glorious lubricant of commercial triumph and technological innovation, and now the dwindling lifeblood of our material prosperity, the unacknowledged driving force of our military conflicts, and even the cause of a coming ecological catastrophe” The second more hopeful film is “Fuel” . The Wikipedia page comments that “Most Americans know we’ve got a problem: an addiction to oil that taxes the environment, entangles us in costly foreign policies, and threatens the nation’s long-term stability. But few are informed or empowered enough to do much about it. Enter Josh Tickell, an expert young activist who, driven by his own emotionally charged motives, shuttles us on a revelatory, whirlwind journey to unravel this addiction—from its historical origins to political constructs that support it, to alternatives available now and the steps we can take to change things.”

This leads me to suggest that we should think about recording/filming Bedford’s transition journey. Anyone?
